St. Mary's Dominican High School Reviews

I loved Dominican and miss it every single day! I made my best friends here and we had great experiences together. The teachers wanted us to succeed and it showed through their personality and work ethic. We valued religion and always stressed to listen and respect people's opinions even when they were different from our own. We valued culture and even had a day to celebrate different cultures from around the world with outfits, singing, and dancing. I had great relationships with my teachers and was able to be myself and feel comfortable asking questions. Teachers were available to answer questions after school and were willing to help as much as they could. I believe Dominican is even better than when I left. They have a brand new building that focuses on the important connection between science and religion. I truly believe that Dominican has shaped me into the young woman I am today and I am extremely grateful for having the opportunity to grow and learn there.

Do not attend Saint Mary’s Dominican High School, but experience Dominican. If you or your child are eager to attend Dominican, they have an outstanding staff and faculty. Also, they have a magnificent academic rating and a variety of clubs to be apart of. In addition, they have an outstanding athletic department. Be apart of something great!
I liked the intellectual growth I sustained and the close relationships I formed over the years. I will never second guess my decisions to choose Dominican – it was the right choice for me! I would like there to be more ACT prep included in the curriculum. I wish teachers were more cooperative with each other in spacing out their tests, quizzes, and homework.
