What makes Dominican unique?
I remember shadowing at Dominican with my cousins and seeing all the friend groups and crowds—it just made me feel at home. Everyone was so welcoming, and I could instantly picture myself being part of the community. Over the past few years, I’ve made countless new friends and have been involved in football, Knight Life, and basketball.

I’d say the community is what stands out. When I first came to Dominican, I didn’t know anyone, but I ended up making a ton of friends. Now, I know my entire class, and I’ve even become friends with upperclassmen and underclassmen too.
Rae ’26
My favorite class is religion. Every time I go into religion class, it’s a new talk, a new discussion that makes me think in a different way. I wasn’t really a religious person before, but through these conversations, I’ve started learning, questioning, and believing more. It’s helped me grow not just in faith, but as a person.

Why did you choose Dominican?
I remember going to Dominican with my cousins and seeing all the friend groups and crowds and it just made me feel at home.
Leonard ’26
I chose Dominican because it felt like a close-knit, family-based community. From the moment I shadowed, I could tell there was something special about Dominican. By the time I got in the car with my mom, I couldn’t stop thinking, “Wow, this school is perfect for me—it’s so welcoming!”
Maddie ’26
During my shadow day, I realized Dominican was the right fit for me. I loved the community, the vibe, and the small class sizes. After COVID, I was a bit worried about academics, but seeing the smaller classes and awesome teachers reassured me. I knew I’d be able to ask for help whenever I needed it.

How does Dominican support you and set you up for academic success?
Because of Dominican’s small class sizes, you’ll always be set up for academic success. Since it’s a smaller school, I can easily ask my teachers questions during our study hall flex without competing with 40 other students. Plus, I get more one-on-one time during class, which really helps.
Madyson ’26
I’d say the teachers at Dominican really support students by being there for you every step of the way, no matter what challenges you face. They’re always ready to help and guide you through your journey.
Rae ’26
All the teachers at Dominican go above and beyond compared to my old school. They stay late and even give up their lunch periods sometimes just to make sure you’re not falling behind in class.

How has faith played a role for you?
Faith has truly boosted my confidence—in sports, academics, and just about everything. One moment that stands out to me is from football. Our coach emphasizes faith so much, and even though we had a hard season, I kept believing that we’d improve in each game. It’s that faith that keeps me motivated.
Faith has played a big role in my life, especially through religion classes. Reading scripture has helped me understand that not everyone has the same level of faith, and that’s okay because we all come from different backgrounds. It’s been meaningful to relate to others, watch my friends grow in their faith, and recognize how much I’ve grown in mine.

How does Dominican support your individual interests and passions?
Dominican’s always encouraging you to get involved, try out a new club, or a new sport. I decided to get involved with robotics and just that year, we qualified for the national championship. It’s nice being able to get close to all these people of different grade levels outside of a school environment.

I am a member of our school’s Veritas Preaching Team, where we focus on deepening our faith and developing leadership skills. As part of our journey, we participate in a significant retreat in Adrian, Michigan, which serves as our initiation into the team. It’s an incredible experience where multiple schools come together to grow spiritually and learn how to become faith leaders in our communities.
