St. Thomas High School (French: École secondaire St. Thomas) is an English-language public high school in the municipality of Pointe-Claire, situated in Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1960 on 120 Avenue Ambassador, it was originally a Roman Catholic foundation, [1] and is a member of the International Baccalaureate Organization's certified Middle Years Programme. Saint Thomas High School is the second largest high school operated by the Lester B. Pearson School Board in Montreal. It is second to only John Rennie High School, which is also located in Pointe-Claire. For the 2008 school year, Saint Thomas High School ranked 1 out of all 466 schools in the province.[2]

The present population is 1,355 students and includes students from thirty-nine Elementary Schools. St. Thomas has a Code of Conduct developed collaboratively by staff, and parents, which ensures a student's right to be educated in a caring, respectful environment. St. Thomas has an Honour Society in order to grant recognition to their top students.

The Lester B. Pearson School Board has decided to move St. Thomas High into Lindsay Place High School in July 2021, where Lindsay Place will then cease to exist. The board's plan is to mesh the student populations from both high schools, with as little student displacement as possible.[3]
