ANNUAL REPORT SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 - AUGUST 31, 2020 WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Alumnae, Family and Friends,

As the first students to celebrate Graduation virtually, the Class of 2020 not only distinguished themselves academically, but also provided a lasting record of their resilience and courage as women of faith.

Through Prayer, Study, Service and Community, our students embody the profile of an Aquinas Graduate: to lead, to advocate, to empower, and to treasure lasting relationships.

In this report, we commend the Class of 2020:

 9 AP Scholars  2 AP Scholars with Honors  5 Presidential Educational Excellence Awards  10 Presidential Outstanding Achievement Awards Mark A. Shultz  41 students earning a cumulative GPA of 80% or higher Aquinas Principal  Receiving upwards of $10 million in grants and scholarships  Completed more than 5,000 hours of community service

While the listing of college acceptances, scholarships and grants are impressive, the consistent commitment and dedication of our entire Aquinas family are the main reasons for our success.

Throughout these challenging times, we share building space and faculty-staff resources with Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School (Grades K - 2). The opportunity to see others use our cafeteria, gym, and classrooms reminds us of the magnificence of our learning environment. What beautiful facilities! Once the DOH allows us to open these hallowed halls to visitors, you will receive an invitation to see your alma mater again. In the meantime, please check out our online bookstore filled with Aquinas apparel and memorabilia.

Like many organizations, “Breakthrough New York,” who provides educational support during the summer and after school during the year to low-income middle schoolers, has chosen remote learning rather than our campus until further notice. The goal of BTNY is to create leaders who break the cycle of poverty in their families and effect positive change in their communities. The Aquinas Community treasures its relationship with BTNY.

“Matter of Sports,” Bronx Community Athletic League has been cleared to return and use our open gym once/week to develop the athletic skills of local high school students, highlighting again our presence in this ever-changing diverse community. Directed by local police, like Aquinas, MOS serves as a symbol of inclusiveness and service.

These and other valued relationships are at the heart of our Aquinas mission. With your continued generosity, Aquinas High School will always be an exemplary model of Dominican Values in the Bronx.

Respectfully,

Mark A. Shultz Aquinas Principal

4 AQUINAS HIGH SCHOOL DOMINICAN SISTERS OF SPARKILL

Dear Alumnae, Family and Friends,

I must admit that I remember very little from my graduation; I also admit it was a very long time ago, so maybe that is why. However, I believe that no one will ever forget the Aquinas class of 2020. I attended the graduation (virtually) and was so proud, so grateful, so appreciative of the young women who graduated and the administration, faculty and staff who made it happen. It was unique and I think will not be forgotten.

When the graduating seniors were in ninth grade, I had the pleasure, honor of leading their retreat. One thing we reflected on was “why were they young women at Aquinas”. Ninth graders in every school would have the same subjects, many of the same activities, the same goals and many of the same challenges. But Sister Eileen Gannon they were Aquinites. Their experience would be unique to them, President, Aquinas Board of the friends they would make, the teachers they would meet, their Trustees achievements, their challenges, their service to others would combine to be the experience of a community of “faith and learning.”

In the Wizard of Oz, the three traveling with Dorothy are searching for courage, for a heart and a brain. Their journey is successful as they reach the end, braver, smarter and with a heart full of love. This is my hope, and I believe this hope is well founded, that our young women are certainly academically successful, have the courage to face whatever challenges await them, but do so with a heart for those close to them and for the wider world where need and challenge meet daily. I know our world will be better because it is home to our graduates.

May God continue to bless each of you,

President, Aquinas Board of Trustees
