With students attending St. Thomas Aquinas High School from 55+ different communities, we continually seek convenient, affordable solutions for families to obtain easy transportation to St. Thomas Aquinas. If you need assistance in finding transportation, please reach out! We’re happy to lend a hand.

Morning STA Bus Transportation
We are excited to offer morning bus transportation for the 2025-2026 school year! There will be no charge for the bus during the first semester. We’re excited to see how this new service benefits our families. Looking ahead, there may be a small fee for busing in the future, but we will make that decision based on our experience and feedback from the first semester.
Our new bus route for the 2025-2026 school year is confirmed as follows:
6:50 AM – STA bus will depart Dick’s Sporting Goods in Seabrook
7:10 AM – STA bus will depart Shaw’s in Stratham
7:30 AM – STA bus will depart the NH State Liquor Store at Portsmouth Circle
Carpooling
Our carpooling program helps families connect and coordinate shared rides with other students in the area. It’s a convenient way to reduce traffic, save on gas, and support a more sustainable community—while giving parents peace of mind knowing who’s driving.
