Athletics

Athletics are an extension of the classroom. As St. Thomas School continues to grow, so do our athletic opportunities for our students. We encourage participation in athletics throughout the school. We believe students will learn valuable lessons in teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership, and participation. The main emphasis will be on character building. These aspects of athletics will help carry our kids through adulthood. Age appropriate skills and strategies will be taught in Primary through 8th Grade.

All students will have the opportunity to be on a team regardless of skill level. STS will maintain a “no cut” policy. For 70% of Middle School Students, this will be the only opportunity they will have to be on a team.  All Middle School sign-ups will be done during the school day prior to the season.
