Athletics

 

With an emphasis on respect, good sportsmanship, and always trying your best, athletics at STM are an integral component of our students’ well-being and emotional and physical development. 

 

Whether in our physical education classes, on the playground during recess, or in organized sports, we place a high value on making sure all of our students are afforded the opportunity to participate and grow in this valuable arena. 

We are blessed to have an active parish with an established Athletic Ministry. St. Thomas More Catholic Church organizes and manages the sports listed below. Also, a wide variety of additional middle school sports are available to our students through our relationship with the local Catholic high school, St. Pius X.
