Parents' Association
Welcome!
The Dominican Academy Parents’ Association (DAPA) works together with the administration, faculty, and staff of Dominican Academy to enhance our daughters’ high school experiences and support the school. We support school activities and academic achievements, encourage socializing for families and friends, raise funds and offer prayer in all we do. We encourage you to volunteer and stay involved with your daughter’s school.Your participation enhances the value of your daughter’s time and your money spent at Dominican Academy. The ways you can participate are various. We are always looking for new ideas for events and donation solicitation. If you are unable to attend meetings please do not hesitate to communicate with us at: DAPA@dominicanacademy.org. Learn more about DAPA, meetings, and ways to get involved below.
