St. Thomas is a great school. Many of my friends went there. I wish Cretin hadn't dropped the JROTC program as a requirement for everyone. Cretin should have merged with Derham before they did and kept the old Derham building instead of selling it to St. Paul Public Schools (Expo). Cretin-Derham is just too crowded now. Just think what CDH could have done with both buildings.

So many tuition based schools have had to close their doors or merge over the years for financial reasons. It's good to see one that has survived to carry on it's tradition. It was interesting to read some of the schools history. Never knew they use to train with weapons! Congratulations St. Thomas on 125 years.

Bellhops, our former rivals, a sincere congrats on a 125 years and praying for your continued success.

Honest question: Does the St. Paul Catholic church have an equivalent institution for girls only?

Right now, there is only the Convent of the Visitation open (right next to STA) However, in the Twin Citie area there were the folowing all girl schools: St. Joseph's Academy (They were located somwwhat behind the Cathedral. They closed in the 1960s) Our Lady of Peace (They were on Summit Ave and closed in the early 1970s.) Regina (over in Minneapolis. They closed in the 1980s.) Lastly Derham Hall. Would have been nice if the nuns at Derham Hall would have been dedicated enough to keep the tradition of an all girls school alive in St. Paul.

Congratulations to STA! Sending our son to school at The Academy was one of the best decisions my wife & I ever made.

Still Catholic, all-girls from grades 7 through 12 and located right across the road from their "little brother" St. Thomas Academy. As an alumna of Visitation, congratulations on 125 years. And may you have many more!!

I realize this school has many great things going for it, and educates many fine young men. It would be nice, however, if they acknowledged that their fans' treatment of goalkeepers at soccer matches is in violation of Minnesota State High School League rules. It's not just "kids having fun" or "fans getting involved." It's deliberate harrassment of one player throughout the entire match. I'm no prude, and I've occasionally yelled things at sporting events of which I'm not particularly proud. But the St. Thomas students' behavior is continual and obnoxious, and is supported by their parents, and their athletic director. I'll take public school education any day over a place that condones that.

Catholic school, bunch of small minded exclusionary emotionally driven run of the mill programmable tools. You sure got good use out of your thesaurus today and used your God given talent for creative writing. One question for you, what if you are wrong?
