Posted on 05/07/2025
St. Thomas Aquinas High School proudly presents the top 10% of the Class of 2025, an extraordinary group of students who have demonstrated exceptional achievement in the classroom and beyond.

Among this group, we are honored to name the Class of 2025 Valedictorian Averie Elizabeth Branche and Salutatorian Mahiya Sundar, two students whose academic records, character, and leadership reflect the very best of Aquinas Excellence. They are shining examples of the words of our patron, St. Thomas Aquinas: “The things that we love tell us what we are.”

Each student in the top ten percent has shown a steadfast commitment to his or her studies, community, and faith. Through their diligence and compassion, they embody the core values of our school: truth, faith, love, and friendship. These young leaders have made a profound impact on our school community, and we are confident that their journey is only just beginning.

As we look to graduation and the bright futures ahead, we are reminded that at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, we don’t just educate minds, we illuminate hearts. Congratulations to all!

Valedictorian: Averie Elizabeth Branche
Salutatorian: Mahiya Sundar
