St Thomas More Collegiate opened in September 1960 with an enrolment of 110 boys in grades 7, 8 and 9. Since 1998, STMC has allowed girls to attend. Enrollment in 1996 was approximately 650 students.

In the 1990s, criminal proceedings began against members of the Christian Brothers in Newfoundland, several of whom were teaching at STMC (Edward French, Joseph Burke, Edward English, and Kevin Short.[1] The proceedings were based on allegations of sexual and physical abuse against boys at the Mount Cashel Orphanage. It was alleged that the Brothers were allowed to escape prosecution at the time (1980s) if they left Newfoundland.[2] The subsequent lawsuits by victims of the Christian Brothers organization threatened to close the school in 2004.[citation needed] The story received considerable press coverage and was covered as widely as in Pakistan.[3]

STMC has an athletics program that offers basketball, football, volleyball, wrestling, and other sports. The sports teams are known as "Knights."

The school is also recognized for its fine and performing arts programs which include instrumental and choral music, drama, visual arts, and media arts.
