St. Dominic School is a Catholic Christian community that believes in commitment to the development of the total child.
We believe we are called to present an educational process that will enable each child to achieve personal academic excellence.
It is through a shared educational responsibility of parents, teachers, and community that the experience of learning and growing in this Christian atmosphere develops a love of self which is the foundation for acceptance of others.
As Catholic educators, it is our responsibility to guide our students in their spiritual growth by living gospel values.
We challenge our students to take the attitudes and values nurtured here to become responsible members of the Church community and productive citizens in our ever-changing society.
