"In most schools, only the top group of students take the ACT test.  We are proud that Aquinas has the highest test scores, but the fact that these high scores are generated by nearly the entire graduating class speaks volumes about our faculty's ability to challenge every student."
- Aquinas President Kurt Nelson
