My experience at Dominion High School is decent. I have met some of my closest friends, played soccer for a couple years, been active in clubs and volunteered through the school. No matter how the sports teams play at Dominion, the school spirit has been there throughout my time at the school. The students and teachers have been cooperative and helpful which I appreciate as well.
