St. Dominic High School

Clichés. While most of them are overused, there is one that really helps tell the Saint Dom story: “A name…not a number.”

Building on the legacy created more than eighty years ago by Msgr. Charles J. Canivan, founding pastor of Saint Dominic High School, students have never been a number, but rather, individuals known by virtually every teacher and every other student who walks through these halls on Anstice Street.

As principal, it is my responsibility and that of our faculty and staff to make sure we know your children. Why is this important? Because we want our students to excel academically, morally, socially and spiritually, and the better we know them—how they study, what their goals and ambitions are, who they are as human beings—the better they will do at Saint Dominic and in their own preparation for college.

99% of our student body attend college. The Class of 2009 received more than $7 million in scholarships. This is what happens when a child chooses to attend a school where it is the name—and not the number—that matters.

Your child matters at Saint Dominic. We invite you to call, to come and visit, and to see us as we really are—educators, coaches, moderators—who know young people and help them grow and develop into our leaders of tomorrow. At Saint Dominic, your child is a person…not a number.

Sincerely,

Denise T. Smith
Principal
