St. Dominic High School provides a broad range of extracurricular programs and activities that encompass the areas of academics, performance, service, and sports. What is even more significant than the number of activities, however, are the opportunities available to each student to become an active member of the St. Dominic community Because of our comparatively small size, a student does not have to be an expert or a star just to get into an activity or onto a team. There is a real opportunity to discover previously unknown talents as well as to hone unpolished ones.
