Completing Our Campus

The Legacy Continues...

St. Thomas School broke ground this past summer to begin the process of adding a new building, which will truly complete our campus, and renovating our current building. Our new building will include a gymnasium, theater space, classroom, and rooftop playfield. The total cost of the project is estimated to reach approximately $29 million, which includes the purchase of an easement on Overlake Golf & Country Club land, construction of the new building, renovations to the current STS building, equipment, and furnishings.

We are continuing an amazing legacy! Even as we celebrate all that we’ve achieved over the years, we remain focused on protecting and growing that legacy for generations to come. The Completing Our Campus project ensures STS will continue to advance our mission to inspire and motivate intellectually curious students and develop responsible citizens of a global society.
