Ways to Give
Aquinas Annual Fund
Gifts to the Aquinas Annual Fund ensure that our school prospers by providing our students with resources that tuition does not cover. Our goal for the 2022-2023 school year is to raise $200,000 for annual operating expenses. Your gift allows Aquinas to remain a special place for learning and faith formation for years to come.
Make a gift by check and mail to Aquinas High School at 1920 Highland Ave, Augusta, GA 30904; give by credit card using the Aquinas Fund page or through Venmo @aquinashs.
