THE CENTER FOR THE SCIENCES The centerpiece of the Called to Lead campaign is the $4.5 million expansion: St. Dominic’s new Center for the Sciences. Extending from our current main entrance, the Center for the Sciences will provide a state-of-theart learning environment and accommodate projected student enrollment growth. The vast majority of the Center for the Sciences is composed of laboratories for science, technology, math and engineering. This space will emphasize our continued growth in the Project Lead the Way curriculum. Alongside these STEM labs will be a professional broadcast journalism studio, allowing students to further explore different communication avenues further. Called to Lead is about much more than bricks and mortar. It’s about strengthening our commitment to educating with a higher purpose. With the addition of the Center for the Sciences, St. Dominic High School will continue to provide superior spiritual, academic, athletic and artistic opportunities to the young men and women who enter our building as freshmen, and leave as wellprepared graduates.
