Greetings! My name is Alison Fischbach, the new principal of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School. I want to thank all the students, families and parishioners who have been so welcoming and positive as I return to our school this summer in a new role. St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School has a long history as a solid educational choice for families in our community. I intend to be a good steward of that legacy, and aim to devote my attention to continuing our school’s growth. We have the unique ability, as a Catholic school, to not only educate the intellect, but the whole child. The teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas himself have created an educational philosophy known as Neo-Thomism which is rooted in principle and reason – specifically the notion that goodness follows reason. By supporting a child’s growth through intellectual and moral reasoning, a teacher is providing that child a means to attain a more fulfilling life. A faith-based, community-oriented school, such as St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, is in a unique position to provide that sort of excellent academic environment. Over the summer we will be looking at some of our goals for the coming 2018-19 school year which include: strengthening pathways of communication, creating an environment of transparency between staff and families and developing shared goals for educational excellence. I ask you to partner with our school in our efforts to continue to grow as we aim to not only encourage the minds, but also nurture the hearts of tomorrow’s leaders.
