  • GivingTuesday Teacher Wish List Videos

    #GivingTuesday is here! This year, STM's goal is to raise $25,000 to support the items on our Teacher Wish List! Your generosity today helps us support the teachers who make STM a home away from home for so many Cavaliers each school year. 
     
    Please enjoy these short messages from STM Director of Development & Alumni Dan Steffes (TM '03), Teachers Jimmy Litscher (TM '06) and Darlene Langhoff, Athletic Director Katlyn Putney (STM '10), and President John Hoch (TM '87), and visit stmwishlist23.givesmart.com to view the items requested personally by our teachers!
  • Why I Give: Jim Kitzinger (TM ’75)

  • Why I Give: Antwain Barfield, STM Parent & Coach

    My connection to St. Thomas More began in 2012 when I became an assistant basketball coach under John Hoch. He had been my coach at Shorewood High School, and after bumping heads initially, we developed a great relationship during my senior year. As I got older, I developed a different perspective on Coach Hoch; he was a tough coach, but I knew he had my best interests at heart, and I appreciated that.
