St. Thomas More Academy was established in 1997 to fill the void left by the closing of Dover's Holy Cross High School in 1987. Lay men and women formed the plans for St. Thomas More, then sought the help of the Bishop to enact the vision. The name was changed from "Academy" to "Preparatory" in 2006.[2]
In 2005, the school requested two students to withdraw as well as suspending another after it was discovered that they had vandalized the school then posted pictures of the vandalism online. The school received a lot of criticism afterward and at the end the 2006 school year the school’s, principal Dr. John Grant, was requested to step down by the Diocese.
