Principal's Welcome

Welcome to St. Thomas More School!

At St. Thomas More School (STMS), families choose a school where their child is known, loved, and prepared for life.

As you consider the right school for your family, you are likely asking a simple question:
Will my child be seen, supported, and challenged here?

At STMS, the answer is yes.

We know our students.
We love our students.
We prepare them for life while striving for Heaven.

This mission shapes every classroom, every lesson, and every interaction.

In Christ,
Richard Hernandez
Principal
St. Thomas More School

Your Child Will Be Known

In a smaller, faith-centered environment, your child is not anonymous.

Our teachers:

  • Know your child’s name, strengths, and needs
  • Build strong relationships rooted in trust
  • Provide support where it is needed most

“I have called you by name: you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1

When your child feels known, they begin to belong.

Your Child Will Be Loved

At STMS, love is shown through action.

You will see it in:

  • Patience in the classroom
  • Respect in daily interactions
  • A culture that treats every child with dignity

“Love one another as I have loved you.” — John 13:34

When your child feels loved, they grow in confidence and courage.

Your Child Will Be Prepared for Life

We take academics seriously. We also form character.

Your child will experience:

  • Strong reading, writing, and math instruction
  • Clear expectations and structured classrooms
  • Leadership and public speaking opportunities
  • Service and responsibility

“Train the young in the way they should go.” — Proverbs 22:6

When your child is formed well, they are ready for high school and beyond.

Your Child Will Grow in Faith and Purpose

Faith gives direction to everything we do.

At STMS, your child will:

  • Pray daily
  • Attend Mass regularly
  • Learn Scripture and Catholic teaching
  • Grow in virtue and moral decision-making

“Set your minds on things above.” — Colossians 3:2

When your child understands their purpose, they live with hope and resilience.

A Community Where You Belong

St. Thomas More School reflects the richness of our community.

  • Over 80% of our students are children of color
  • More than 21 home languages are spoken
  • Families come from many cultures and backgrounds

Every child is welcomed. Every child belongs.

Strong Academics in a Supportive Environment

Students succeed when expectations are clear and support is strong.

At STMS:

  • Classrooms are structured and focused
  • Teachers are engaged and intentional
  • Students are encouraged to take academic risks

Students who feel safe take risks.
Students who feel valued persist.
Students who belong achieve.

Partnering With You

You are your child’s first teacher.

We work with you through:

  • Clear communication

  • Shared commitment to your child’s growth

Your child’s success is a shared mission.
