[edit] No mention of Boxing?
Come on it's one of our most famous sports. We have to have something in the article about it... arn't we one of only 2 High Schools in the US with the sport? The Mission Bouts have made big news, and I'm sure it could warrant a huge section of this article. It's kind of funny how a kid like me who almost never shows school pride cares about this article. Oh well, it needs a major clean up, but consider this a fantastic deal, this is a High School have a Wikipedia article! And if anyone debates such sillyness, I'll be able to point you in many directions where we are famous, including one of our theology teachers winning some huge award or something. One of our teachers judges Stars of Tommorow. We have many famous alumni, and I'd be surprised if we weren't in the news. You can guess for days who this is at school, but trust me, if you look deep enough you'll know. BTW I'm a senior if that's any clue, and don't be intimidated to chat now and again. I digress however, either way, I believe boxing would be a massive and well recieved addition to this article. Balladofwindfishes 23:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
_ All I could read right ^up there^ was "blah blah boxing blah article blah blah fame." Aquinas is a far cry from it's days of academic glory. Might as well cut the foreplay and rename the school "The Aquinas Institute of Sports." Honestly, it's getting out of hand. They shell out the cash for a new field house, gym floor, and a new football field. Yet their auditorium is falling to pieces, broken seats litter the rows. Yeah, they built an Art Center with a new band room and black-box theater, but it seems like their interest in the fine arts development ends there. Their new field house, on completion, obstructs the balcony view built off the art center windows. That kinda makes a statement in and of itself. But I suppose that's how it's got to be. Aquinas isn't so much a 'school' more so than it's a 'business'. Teaching "Goodness and Discipline" sounds real nice, but they tossed out their best physical manifestation of that code, Father Grasso, for attempting to do just that. Goodness and Discipline came into conflict with the high-baller benefactors personal interests, so the Priest had to go for challenging 'em. Being "Catholic" won't pay the bills. Aquinas Institute knows that pretty well. Business as usual. ;]
