Villanova Junior High has a long history on the beautiful shores of Conception Bay. Situated along the
historic Manuels River, Villanova opened under its new name, in its present configuration, and in its new
building, in September 2002. Prior to that time, Villanova Junior High was better known as St. Thomas
of Villanova. As St. Thomas of Villanova the school boasted a long history and at various times served
not only as a junior high but also served as a senior high and a primary/elementary building. Throughout
its history, the school developed a reputation for providing a quality education to students in what is now
referred to as Conception Bay South.
