DOVER—
St. Thomas Aquinas High School is proud to commemorate its 50th jubilee anniversary this year and plans are well under way for the celebration. This milestone is a true testament to the strength of our community and the mission of our school, and it is with that strong community spirit that we invite the community to join us in celebrating our 50th birthday by participating in some or all the events and activities that are planned.
The 50th Jubilee Kick Off Event is on Monday, Aug. 30, 2010.
At 8 a.m. there is a reenactment of first day of school September 1960. Students, faculty and staff will gather in the front of the school for a ribbon cutting ceremony. St. Thomas Librarian and Honorary Jubilee Chairwoman Sister Georganne Pearson (who has been at St. Thomas for 49 of its 50 years) will do the ribbon cutting honors. Ron Holtz, Dean of Studies, will speak to students about the school’s 50-year journey. Students will gather for a photo in front of the school.
At 1:30 p.m. STA students, faculty and staff will reconvene out in back of the school after each receiving a ‘birthday present’ in their homeroom. Students will create a celebratory “50 STA” formation on the field while aerial photos are taken by STA graduate Aaron Rohde ’95 in a small aircraft flown by STA friend Kenn Ortmann.
