  • Tri-M

    Tri-M Music Honor Society (Modern Music Masters) is an honor society for students who are dedicated to the school music program. Although music grades and overall grades need to be honor roll status, being the “most talented” is not the primary concern. Tri-M Music Honor Society recognizes students who exemplify the desire to succeed and are dedicated to the school’s music program.

    Tri-M Music Honor Society is a service organization to the school and community. Currently, we sponsor the Christmas Dance, Singing Valentines, and the Talent Show. At the Talent show, non-perishable food items are collected for local food pantries. Proceeds collected from Tri-M activities are used to purchase items for St. Thomas More, such as pianos, microphones, music, and more.

    Students who are in a performing ensemble (band, chorus, string ensemble) and an average of “A” in music and a “C” average overall are able to join Tri-M. The requirements for joining the Tri-M Music Honor Society are: a student must meet the grade requirements, have one year of experience, continued enrollment in the school music program, performing or giving an oral report, taking part in an induction ceremony, and participating in Tri-M events.
St. Thomas More is a Catholic, coeducational high school that inspires students to embrace the values of our Patron Saint by becoming men and women for all seasons. Rooted in Christ and the Catholic tradition, the school community embodies the principles of Christian discipleship, service to others, and academic excellence.
