The school opened in the Fall of 2008, and was the newest Catholic High School on Guam, under the Archdiocese of Agana.{{cite web|last=Mugol|first=John|url=http://content-static.guampdn.com/guampublishing/special-sections/ve-dec/pg2.html|title=Vibe Extreme|newspaper=Pacific Daily News|date=2008|accessdate=2020-10-09}}

In 2015 the archdiocese decided that as the school did not have enough students, it should be closed.{{cite web|last=Carrera|first=Jaime|url=https://www.pncguam.com/st-thomas-aquinas-will-be-closing-its-doors/|title=St. Thomas Aquinas Will Be Closing its Doors|newspaper=PNC Guam|publisher=Sorensen Media Group|date=2015-04-24|accessdate=2020-10-09|archive-date=2020-10-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201009150800/https://www.pncguam.com/st-thomas-aquinas-will-be-closing-its-doors/|url-status=dead}}
