Tech Education Beyond the Classroom
The Technological Education Department supports different events happening within the school during the year. Most of these events are designed to help educate students with respect to career choices and course decisions while at St. Thomas Aquinas. We also support different clubs and initiatives at STA, some of which involve using the skills and talents of our students.

This event is supported by Hackergal to encourage girls to consider their future in computer science and technology, as well as to develop curiosity and confidence in these fields. All-female teams from our family of schools engage in a fun yet competitive challenge over a fast-paced day. The teams will have prepared and learned foundational programming skills in order to compete. Find out more about the event.
