By Angeline Hawthorn Math, chemistry, physics, biology and exercise science. These are just some of the great courses offered annually at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School.

Confessions of a (pre)IB Dropout

I never really knew a world outside of IB, where I had classes with all the same people, but becoming a drop-out has changed my outlook on high school. There have been so many things to learn and so many things to do, as well as a ton of pressure lifted off my shoulders. So, let
