History
| Gather here, True and Dear, Sing we now of Aquinas, You have led us along right paths, |
Aquinas High School, a Diocesan Catholic Secondary School, opened in 1957 following the merger of Boy's Catholic High School, operated by the Marist Brothers under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Savannah, and Mt. St. Joseph's Academy, owned and operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Aquinas, one of the first co-institutional high schools in the nation, became co-educational in 1969, as recommended by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
On the weekend of October 5, 2007, Aquinas celebrated its 50th anniversary. During the anniversary festivities a ground breaking ceremony was held for a planned expansion of the school which will include more classrooms, an improved dining hall, and kitchen facilities.
