A Catholic college preparatory school for young men in grades 9-12, the student body is representative of the city of Houston and students come from more than 125 zip codes. Ethnic representation: African American 7%, Asian 6%, Hispanic 21%, Caucasian 63%, multi-racial 3%. Teaching goodness, discipline and knowledge is the tradition of the Basilian Fathers and the sacred mission of St. Thomas. FROM THE EARLIEST YEARS, THE TRUISM OF A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY... has been a way of life at St. Thomas, where sports share importantly with the academics. The result has been the creation of a strong tradition of earnest competition and an esprit de corps that has come down undiluted to the present.
