choose Catholic Schools

The doors of St. Thomas More Parish School opened for the first student body, grades one through eight, with a population of 513, on September 7, 1965. Throughout its history, the school has been faithful to its mission of providing excellence in a Christian atmosphere for the local community. In 1981, kindergarten was offered at the school, increasing the student body by 60 students. In 1986, the school community considered and responded to the plight of working/single parent families. In the fall of 1987, an additional building was completed and an Extended Day Program was started. The following year, an Early Childhood Program was started with a class of sixteen pre-kindergarten students. By the third year of operation the enrollment exceeded ninety, three and four year old students. The enrollment for the 2009-2010 school year is approximately 560, establishing St. Thomas More Parish School as one of the largest Catholic elementary schools in the Galveston-Houston diocese.

Statement of Philosophy

We believe that each child can be formed into a responsible individual with values rooted in Christian precepts. We strive to maintain a profound sense of purpose to build within each student a deep respect for God, self, others, and property.

All school personnel, families, and students are challenged to lead, teach, and learn the way of accepting personal responsibility for one’s own actions and to grow in wisdom, age, and grace before God and one another. The goal of the St. Thomas More experience is to open the mind to knowledge, the heart to service, and the soul to God’s presence in creation
