St. Thomas More School has been serving families seeking the best in
elementary education and faith formation for their children since 1944. The
elementary building, which still serves students in kindergarten through third
grade, is named for our first pastor, Fr. Francis Heider. By 1996, the
parish and school facilities were expanded with a full-size multi-purpose
building (gym), full service commercial grade kitchen, meeting rooms and
kindergarten classroom. The undercroft of the church was renovated to serve as
junior high classrooms, and a library was developed.
Shortly after, at the suggestion of then-pastor, Fr. John Fischer, a grotto
was built overlooking the school and the church. The grotto, now a popular spot
for quiet prayer and reflection, was dedicated in 2001.
In the fall of 2002, additional classrooms were added with the placement of
three modular classroom buildings. Located in one of the fastest growing areas
of greater Cincinnati, the parish presently serves more than 1500 families with
an elementary school recognized for academic excellence and a family-friendly
atmosphere.
