BE PART OF THE DOMINICAN LEGACY

TRUTH • COMPASSION • JUSTICE • COMMUNITY • PARTNERSHIP

DOMINICAN FAMILY & FRIENDS, Since opening in 1956, Dominican High School has been dedicated to its mission of providing a co-educational, Catholic, college-preparatory experience. Beginning with the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters, who served as our first teachers, to the faculty and staff of today, providing academic excellence, rooted in faith, has remained constant and steadfast at Dominican. We are so proud of our rich history and honored that our graduates are carrying forth the Dominican mission and values, just as our founder Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli and the Sinsinawa Dominicans envisioned.

To ensure an even brighter future for Dominican, we have launched Knight Vision 2.0, a $5,600,000 capital campaign. The key initiatives of this campaign, determined through feasibility studies and focus groups conducted over the past two years, include enhancements to our STEM curriculum, increasing our endowment, expanding our athletic facilities and offerings, and strengthening our infrastructure, all of which will help us continue our tradition of being a leader in Catholic education.

If you or your loved ones have been positively impacted by your experience at Dominican High School, I ask you to please make an investment in its future through a gift to Knight Vision 2.0. We have $700,000 yet to raise, and you can help us reach our goal today! Your support will make the vision of this campaign a reality and ensure our ability to further the Dominican mission and values for students and families for generations to come. Be part of the Dominican legacy today!

God’s blessings and many thanks, Leanne Giese
