Message From the President

Welcome to the Aquinas Institute of Rochester, where academic excellence meets holistic growth, and where each student is valued as a unique individual with immense potential. 作为总统, I am honored to lead a community that is deeply committed to nurturing not only the minds but also the hearts of our students.

My journey in Catholic school 领导人hip has been a fulfilling one, rooted in a profound passion for Catholic education. Before joining Aquinas, I had the privilege of serving as the Headmaster of Xavier 高中 in Middletown, 康涅狄格, an all-boys Catholic school with over 600 students. 在那之前, I held the position of President and Chief Administrator at Northwest Catholic 高中 in West Hartford, 康涅狄格. I continue to witness firsthand the transformative power of Catholic education in shaping young minds and hearts.

在阿奎那, we believe that education is not just about imparting knowledge; it's about inspiring a lifelong love for learning and fostering the skills and values that will serve our students well beyond their time with us. Our motto, “College Prepared. Life Ready” is a guiding principle that resonates deeply in all aspects of our work. The dedicated faculty and staff are here to support and guide our students on their journey of self-discovery, helping them develop into well-rounded individuals who are ready to make a positive impact on the world.

With a rich history spanning over a century, Aquinas has a strong tradition of academic excellence, athletic achievement, and community involvement. Our students are not only scholars but also athletes, 艺术家, 领导人, 和志愿者, engaging in a wide range of activities that enrich their lives and the lives of those around them.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the unique opportunities that Aquinas has to offer. Whether you are a prospective student, 一个家长, or a member of our alumni community, we welcome you to be a part of the Aquinas family. Every day, I am inspired by the dedication and passion of our Aquinas community. 在一起, let us continue to uphold the values of our Basilian tradition, “Teach me Goodness, Discipline and Knowledge.”
