Dominican's environment allows and encourages room for growth and improvement. At Dominican, I feel welcomed, accepted, and appreciated.

Although all of the four pillars are important, community is the most important to me. Whether it's the toy drive for Dominican's neighbors or visiting the Chateau de Notre Dame Nursing home, community is essential to the Dominican experience. Within the school’s own community, friendships last lifetimes, and the Dominican bond will never be forgotten.

To a prospective student considering Dominican, I would say that choosing a high school can feel overwhelming and challenging. Everyone has different needs and thrives in different environments. Dominican offers many opportunities to get involved and ensures you feel welcomed as you adjust to a new environment.

If you choose Dominican, you’ll discover the strongest sisterhood you’ll ever know waiting for you on the other side of your decision. From the moment you step onto campus, you’ll be welcomed into a big, loving, and supportive family. Choosing Dominican isn’t just about where you’ll go to school—it’s about joining a family and finding a second home.

When entering high school, many people worry about feeling like an outsider or not being welcomed. With Dominican, I never had to worry about that. I had many options, but none of them gave me the heartfelt feeling that Dominican did. From the very beginning, I never felt like an outsider or unwelcome. The most important thing Dominican teaches is to love everyone, and I felt that love the first time I stepped onto campus. As a soon-to-be high schooler, I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to feel welcomed—not just tolerated. By attending Spend-a-Days and other events, I truly felt like part of the family. Now, I can honestly say that nothing has changed.

I would tell a prospective student that I completely understand how overwhelming it can feel to choose a high school and begin a new chapter in an unfamiliar place. I would encourage them to take the time to explore everything Dominican has to offer. From countless clubs and extracurriculars to meaningful traditions, Dominican provides so many opportunities to meet new people and discover new passions. It’s more than just a school — it’s a home away from home. I truly believe that everyone can find their place here, surrounded by a supportive community that will help them grow and reach their goals.

Out of all the four pillars of Dominican, I would say the pillar of Community means the most to me. When I first attended Dominican, I was quickly invited to be part of this sisterhood. Through cheering for Dominican at Pink Games to learning dance motions with my fellow classmates for Rally Day, it all brought us together. When I look around Dominican, I can see a close community of students with bonds – not just a school for learning.

I chose Dominican because of its strong academics, close-knit community, and deep-rooted traditions — all of which deeply resonated with me the moment I stepped onto campus. The school’s commitment to academic excellence stood out through its rigorous yet supportive curriculum, designed to help every student thrive. Beyond the academics, the sense of sisterhood was immediately clear in the way students and teachers interacted, fostering an environment of mutual respect, encouragement, and support. The traditions I learned about — cherished and passed down through generations — gave me a true sense of belonging and connection to Dominican’s rich legacy.
