Dominican High School is a prestigious and highly rated Catholic college preparatory school in Whitefish Bay, a suburb of Milwaukee. This private school opened in 1956 and is known for its academic excellence, competitive athletic programs, popular extra-curricular activities, and high college placement rates.
The school offers a robust Catholic faith-based educational curriculum that includes Advanced Placement and college-preparatory courses. And it sets the bar high with its competitive sports teams: Students can choose from volleyball, soccer, football, tennis, cross country, cheer, basketball, baseball, softball, golf, or track and field. In addition, Dominican High School offers not only highly competitive varsity teams, but beginner and junior varsity-level teams as well.

I enjoyed my 4 years at Dominican because I really felt included and met some people that will stay with for the rest of my life

I had a great experience at Dominican High School. The academics were excellent, and I had access to numerous opportunities that I would not have had otherwise. Despite its own problems, there was nothing the school couldn't solve.
