MISSION STATEMENT
   The philosophy of St. Dominic Elementary School is an explicit expression 
of the evangelizing mission entrusted by Jesus to the church He founded.  
Its purpose is to teach the message of Jesus, to build community, and to 
serve.

   Believing that the message of Christ must be authentically and fully 
proclaimed in our classrooms, the school strives to make each child's faith 
become living, conscious, and active through the light of instruction.  Our 
education encompasses the whole of human life - physical, intellectual, 
aesthetic, social, and spiritual - in order to help the child develop 
according to the example and teaching of Christ.

   One of the primary aims of our education is the initiation of a vibrant 
Christian community among the faculty, student body, and parents.  A 
community of faith is established among the faculty as they seek to live and 
work in a spirit of genuine concern, encouragement and support, nourished by 
a sharing together in prayer.  This spirit is extended throughout the 
student body by an education that seeks to help each child esteem 
himself/herself as a person of worth.  This is enhanced by an attitude of 
acceptance of one another and by making prayer and communal worship an 
integral part of daily life.

   Our education strives to assist the child in becoming aware of the 
dignity of human life and to recognize the commitment each has to assume 
responsibility to promote social justice throughout the world.  They are 
also prepared to promote a fully human and Christian way of life.

   Finally, students are encouraged to reach out to the needs of others as 
they are prepared to become leaders of tomorrow.
