Clubs & Activities

At St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School we know the confidence and exhilaration that come from personal accomplishment. We know that leadership and teamwork continue well beyond the classroom.

"At St. Dominic I took part in the Student Government Association. SDS really helped me make that huge decision to step outside of my shell and shoulder responsibility. I left St Dominic School feeling confident in who I am and in the ability to make the important decisions I need to for my future."

"A quote that many of us strive to live by here at St. Agnes is from St. Catherine of Siena. ‘Be who God meant you to be, and you will set the world on fire.’ I feel that this quote has a special and unique meaning for each and everyone of us, because we all have such unique gifts that God has graced us with, and if we learn to use these gifts and talents, we will most definitely shine and make a positive impact on the world.
