<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
Mission <strong>St</strong>atement<br />
The mission of <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is to<br />
educate young people in a community dedicated to<br />
Gospel values and Catholic teachings. Ministering<br />
to students of diverse abilities, <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong><br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> strives to achieve wholeness through<br />
personal holiness, academic excellence, and social<br />
responsibility. The pride of this community is its<br />
celebration of a student’s growth and individuality.<br />
Adopted April 5, 1994
Over 80 Years of<br />
Academic Excellence<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> continues to offer a values-centered, Catholic education to young<br />
women and men on Long Island; in fact, <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> is honored to hold the distinction of being<br />
the oldest co-educational Catholic high school in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong><br />
is, and always has been, a parish high school and parishioners proudly refer to their high school<br />
as “The Parish Gem.” Yet from its earliest days it has also attracted students from communities<br />
outside the local area, fulfilling the hope and intent of the school’s founder, Monsignor Charles<br />
J. Canivan, to make <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> Parish an educational center that included a high school of<br />
outstanding merit. At the time of its founding, <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> was one of only a few schools<br />
accessible to young women and men seeking a Catholic secondary education. Today, even with<br />
many more schools in the region for students to choose, <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> continues to draw from a<br />
broad geographic area, encompassing more than 64 communities and 58 public school districts<br />
in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties.<br />
The key to <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong>’s perennial attractiveness and success is simply this: <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> strives to<br />
respond to each student in a personal and caring manner, treating her or him as an individual with unique<br />
needs, aspirations, and potential. <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> begins by helping the students at their level and then<br />
seeks to bring them to a higher, better place in their lives – intellectually, socially, morally, and spiritually.
A Bright Future<br />
99%<br />
Ninety-nine percent of<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> graduates<br />
go on to college;<br />
others go on to careers in both business and the<br />
military. In the past five years, <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong><br />
seniors have been accepted at many prestigious<br />
colleges and universities, and many have<br />
received scholarships and financial assistance.
The <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong><br />
Family<br />
<strong>St</strong>udents<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> attracts and accepts students from many diverse backgrounds and traditions.<br />
Although a majority of the students are Roman Catholic, other faiths are welcome. All students<br />
participate in the complete offerings of the school and are encouraged to share their experiences<br />
as well as demonstrate a willingness to grow academically, socially, and spiritually.<br />
Faculty<br />
An outstanding faculty of lay and religious women and men, who provide direction and<br />
inspiration to our students, serves <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. The faculty’s commitment to<br />
learning, teaching, and fostering the growth of each student is among the primary reasons that<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> graduates succeed in college, in the working world, and in family and community<br />
life.<br />
Parents<br />
Parents’ most critical role is to be supportive of their children, offering encouragement with high<br />
expectations. Historically, parents have also involved themselves in school life by sponsoring<br />
Parents’ Club meetings and participating actively in a number of school activities, including<br />
Open House and Golf Outings, and the Canivan Gala and Auction.<br />
Alumni<br />
Alumni know firsthand what <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> offers and how it has affected their lives. An<br />
expanding event and reunion program heralds the return of alumni to the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> campus<br />
and to an active personal and financial involvement in the school.
Campus Life<br />
The <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong><br />
Experience...<br />
Values<br />
The practice of the gospel values in the Roman Catholic tradition is a hallmark of a <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> education.<br />
The values-centered atmosphere at <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> permeates all activities of the school. Self-discipline, respect for<br />
self and others, reflection, and prayer are integrated throughout daily school life. <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> offers a caring<br />
environment, with experiences in daily prayer, liturgical worship, retreats, and personal counseling available<br />
throughout the year.<br />
Challenge<br />
One of the principal goals of a <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> education is to nurture in each student a positive sense of personal<br />
identity and self-esteem. This is achieved by offering each student a balanced educational experience characterized<br />
by opportunity, challenge, and success.<br />
Respect<br />
<strong>St</strong>udents at <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> are encouraged to recognize their own unique characteristics and to share their personal<br />
talents with other students. This process of discovery and sharing permits students to claim their right to respect<br />
while learning about and respecting others.<br />
Responsibility<br />
At <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong>, students are expected to develop an understanding of their role in society. As part of the<br />
comprehensive educational experience, students are required to take an active role in their community through a<br />
comprehensive service program.<br />
ACTIVITIES AT SAINT DOMINIC HIGH SCHOOL<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Dominic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> provides a range of extracurricular programs and activities that encompass the areas of<br />
performance, service, and sports. Even more significant than the number of activities or the programs related to them are the<br />
opportunities available to each student.<br />
Because of our comparatively small size, a student does not have to be an expert to become a member of an activity or team.<br />
There is a real opportunity to discover previously unknown talents and develop others.<br />
