Before the close of the 2025–2026 school year, Aquinas proudly celebrated members of the Class of 2026 who committed to continuing both their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level during our College Athlete Celebration. The ceremony honored students who successfully balanced competitive athletics with academic achievement, leadership roles, community service, and involvement in school and extracurricular activities. Surrounded by family, friends, coaches, teammates, and members of the AQ community, it was a true reflection of the strong connections and support systems that define the Aquinas experience. The event also served as a reminder that no student reaches these milestones alone. Special thanks to the many parents, coaches, and members of the local media, including Primetime585’s Karen and Gerard Iglesia who attended the event, and for continuing to celebrate and uplift AQ student-athletes. The school also recognizes President Dave Eustis, Principal Ted Mancini ’88, P’26, Athletic Director Anthony Bianchi ’81, and Associate Director of Athletic Operations Collin Wright for their leadership and support.
