Aquinas High School (Augusta, Georgia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aquinas High School, home of the Fightin' Irish, is located in Augusta, Georgia. 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 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. The school is under the direction of the Diocese of Savannah with local direction coming from the Aquinas School Board which is comprised of the Principal, one lay representative from each parish in the Central Savannah River Area, one priest elected by the deanery, three at-large members, and a representative of the Parents' Organization. The Board serves as policy advisors for the school. God loves this school very much. God loves this school very much.
