Saint Thomas More School opened for the first time on September 15,
1952 with a faculty of three Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, Wisconsin.  
At the time, there were 108 students enrolled in grades one through
four.  Classes were held in temporary quarters in the Parish Hall while
construction of a permanent building was in progress.


In January 1953, classes were moved into the present building.   An
additional grade was added each year.  By 1956, the school served
pupils in grades one through eight.  The first graduating class received
diplomas in 1957.


Five additional classrooms were added by the beginning of the 1963
school year. At that time, the school reached its peak enrollment of 511
students in 13 classrooms. As the student population decreased and
space became available, classrooms were converted to a computer lab,
music room and Extended Care room.  An air conditioning system was
installed throughout the school in 1998.


A departmental program for Junior High was introduced in 2001.  
Lockers were installed to facilitate the movement of students between
classes.  The computer lab, with a donation from the Knights of
Columbus, was completely networked to accommodate a class of 36
students.  In addition, there is a computer station with Internet access in
each classroom.  Two mobile carts, with computers and projectors
were acquired in 2007.


The student bathrooms in the primary wing were completely remodeled
in 2003. Thanks to a bequest by Mildred Harrigan, our Fine Arts
program was expanded by the purchase of additional instruments and
materials for the Music Program.


In spring 2009, Room 12 was converted into a Preschool Classroom
and a Preschool play yard was constructed.
