Aquinas College High School was an all-boys high school operated by the Dominican Fathers from 1905 to 1965. More than 4,200 boys graduated from Aquinas, which was located for most of its years at Mt. Vernon and Washington Avenues, now the home of Columbus State Community College. Our prayers go out to those Aquinas alumni who have passed away since last May who had been a special part of this ongoing luncheon and/or the St. Charles vs. Aquinas College High School Golf Challenge for many years. Both St. Charles and Aquinas have long traditions and many Columbus families have graduates from both schools. Since Aquinas closed its doors in 1965, many of its graduates have had sons, grandsons and nephews attend St. Charles. Both of their alumni associations have worked to help foster a growing respect and friendship between alumni of these once VERY competitive rival schools.

134 St. Charles Preparatory School the Principal’s Message One year ago, on the feast day of our Patron Saint, Charles Borromeo, we proudly CARDINAL announced the beginning of our initiative called “The Vision for the Future.” Its three main areas of focus are: to continue to grow the St. Charles endowment, specifically for The magazine for alumni and friends funds that provide support for qualified students and teachers; to look for opportunities of Saint Charles Preparatory School Fall 2019 Volume 33, Number 1 to expand or make improvements to our current campus; and to build facilities which help all of our students reach their potential. Saint Charles Preparatory School 2010 East Broad Street As have the school leaders of years before, I believe it is essential that St. Charles Columbus, Ohio 43209-1665 continues to anticipate changes in the school’s long-term strategic planning.
