“In the beginning there was only a vision,” according to the 1993 edition of Veritas, STA’s yearbook. “But now there is a reality, a thriving Catholic high school in Tangipahoa Parish and Sister Roselle was an integral part in making the dream of STA into a reality.” Sister Mary Roselle Orso, O.P., the first Principal of Saint Thomas Aquinas Regional Catholic High School, passed away peacefully from the care of her Dominican Sisters to the loving arms of our Lord on Feb. 7, 2014. She served STA as Principal from 1986-1992.
