Join us for an unforgettable evening on Saturday, May 31, 2025, as we gather to honor Dr. Wheeler's legacy and to celebrate the incredible families who have built and sustained St. Thomas School for the past two decades. This special evening, hosted at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, is an opportunity to come together in gratitude, connection, and celebration.

Prepare for heartfelt tributes, sharing cherished memories, and the opportunity to reflect on the transformative impact Dr. Wheeler has had on our students, faculty, and families. We warmly invite all parents and guardians, as well as former parents and trustees, to be part of this event as we honor the past and look forward to the future of STS. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

A Special Giving Opportunity
Faculty and Staff Endowment

A new giving opportunity in Dr. Wheeler's honor, The Kirk M. Wheeler Faculty and Staff Endowment, will help the school achieve and sustain levels of compensation (including salary, benefits, and other incentives) for the faculty and staff that are competitive with the best schools in the nation. This fund also provides professional development opportunities such as workshops, conferences, and seminars. There will be an opportunity to contribute to this endowment through our raise-the-paddle effort the night of the gala.
