As the hallways of Aquinas fill with the energy and excitement of a new school year, we extend a warm welcome back to all students, families, faculty, staff, and coaches! Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to start another year of learning, growth, and community together.
This year, we continue to embrace the spirit of our recent Landmark magazine, which celebrated what it truly means to be #AQProud. Being #AQProud is about more than accomplishments; it’s about connection, courage, and contribution. It’s about stepping into opportunities, supporting one another, and celebrating the unique gifts each of us brings to our school.
We encourage every student to get involved—try a new sport, join a club, explore the arts, or participate in theatre and dance programs. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone, spark conversations that matter, and build meaningful connections with your peers. When phones and technology tempt us to look down instead of looking up, let’s remember the value of being present, engaging face-to-face, and enjoying every moment together.
To our talented coaches, teachers, volunteers, Aquinas Parents Association, and staff—thank you for guiding our students with dedication, inspiration, and care. Your support is what helps our students thrive academically, creatively, and socially. We are grateful to the Rochester media community for helping tell our students’ stories and cheering them on—thank you to PrimeTime585, 13WHAM News, News10NBC WHEC-TV, Section V Athletics, and so many others.
This school year, let’s all commit to living our values, embracing new experiences, and being proud of who we are and who we are becoming. Together, we make Aquinas a community where every student can shine, grow, and succeed.
Stay connected! Check out our Athletics Calendar and School Events Calendar for opportunities to join in and engage with our community. Discover stories of pride, achievement, and connection in our latest Aquinas Landmark Magazine. And be sure to explore our website Gallery for recent photos of our Aquinas community. First day of school pictures coming soon!
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
