public high school in the municipality of
Pointe-Claire, in
Quebec,
Canada. Founded in 1960, it was originally a
Roman Catholic foundation, and it is a member of the
International Baccalaureate Organization's certified Middle Years Programme. The school is the second-largest high school operated by the
Lester B. Pearson School Board, after
John Rennie High School, which is also located in Pointe-Claire. For the 2008 school year, St. Thomas High School ranked 1 out of all 466 schools in the province.
The present population is 1,355 students and includes students from thirty-nine Elementary Schools. St. Thomas has a Code of Conduct developed collaboratively by staff, and parents, which ensures a student's right to be educated in a caring, respectful environment. St. Thomas has an Honour Society in order to grant recognition to their top students.
The
Lester B. Pearson School Board has decided to move St. Thomas High into
Lindsay Place High School in July 2021, where Lindsay Place will then cease to exist. The board's plan is to mesh the student populations from both high schools, with as little student displacement as possible.
