St. Thomas Aquinas (STA) Secondary School, located in London, Ontario, is a school known for its commitment to academic excellence, spiritual growth, and vibrant school spirit. With a strong emphasis on community, leadership, and faith, STA is a place where students are encouraged to grow both intellectually and personally. In this post, we’re excited to explore the history of STA, delve into its unique culture, and showcase the school spirit wear and athletic apparel we’ve proudly created for the STA Flames.
Founded in 1994, St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School was established to provide a comprehensive Catholic education to students in London. Named after St. Thomas Aquinas, the patron saint of students and education, STA is dedicated to fostering a learning environment that nurtures both the mind and the spirit. The school offers a wide range of academic programs, including Advanced Placement (AP) courses and specialized arts programs. Over the years, STA has built a reputation for its strong commitment to academic excellence, spiritual development, and community service, making it a cornerstone of Catholic education in the region.
The STA Flames, the school’s mascot, represent the passion, determination, and unity of the student body. School spirit at STA is vibrant and deeply rooted in the school’s Catholic values, with students actively participating in events like Masses, retreats, and social justice initiatives, as well as traditional school events such as Spirit Week and athletic competitions. The Flames are known for their competitive sports teams, particularly in basketball, volleyball, and soccer, where they consistently demonstrate their skill and sportsmanship. Beyond athletics, STA has a strong tradition in the arts, with drama productions, music performances, and visual arts exhibitions that showcase the creative talents of its students. The sense of community at STA is evident in the way students, faculty, and alumni come together to support one another, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

The production process focused on using high-quality materials to ensure that the apparel is not only stylish but also durable enough to withstand the rigors of school life and athletic competition.
