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 2024-2025 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 at the following LINK.
