- STM Mourns the Loss of Pioneers Jean Somers and Thomas G. Shanahan
-
The High School of Saint Thomas More mourns the loss of two of its pioneers – Jean Somers who passed away on December 14th and Dr. Thomas G. Shanahan who passed away November 9th. When The High School of Saint Thomas More was just an idea, Jean quietly gave countless hours of her time, treasure and talent to ensure the high school became a reality. She understood and appreciated the value of a Catholic education and was committed to supporting the high school’s mission of academic excellence and commitment to the Catholic faith. Jean’s spirit will live in our halls forever and the memories we have of her popping in with a smile that lit up the world, a laugh that made you laugh, too, and a positive attitude that made your day a better one.
Though Dr. Shanahan and his wife, Gloria, resided in Springfield, his heart remained in Champaign at The High School of Saint Thomas More. Many have said, “Thom was the ‘voice’ in making a case for a Catholic high school in Champaign.” On behalf of the entire STM community, we remain grateful to Dr. and Mrs. Shanahan for staying the course so that their dream, and the dream of so many others in our community, would become a reality in The High School of Saint Thomas More.

- Saber TAILGREAT: In the Zone
-
STM Fans were “in the zone” as they were greeted by returning alumni letter winners and the STM Pep Band at the Athletic Boosters Annual Dinner-Dance, Saber TAILGREAT. This annual fundraiser hosted by the Athletic Boosters on Friday night raised over $25,000 for the STM athletic program. Saber Fans warmed up with great game day “eats”, and their competitive edge took over during the challenging “trivia” game. STM generosity was evident during the live auction as our Saber Fans went the distance in support of our student athletes. Many thanks to our alumni and alumni parents for returning to support the Sabers. A “shout out” to our evening emcee Todd Powell and Trivia Game host Kevin Hinders. It was a great night to be a Saber!
