Regina Dominican, where North Shore
enrollment continues to grow rapidly
“This fall, Regina Dominican High
School is looking at a 51 percent increase
in freshmen enrollment, with the
most significant numbers coming from
the North Shore,” president Elizabeth
Schuster remarked. “Never has the value
of single-gender education been more
important to parents and students than it
is today. At open houses, we outline the
science. There have been significant studies
on the impact of the all-girl environment
during this important developmental
stage — and it shows when these young
women enter college and the workforce.”
Admittedly, the school’s best marketing
comes from its graduates. On average, 91
percent of Regina Dominican graduates
are accepted to their university of first
choice and 46 percent of the 2019 graduates
choose majors in the STEM fields.
“Keep in mind, most of these students
did not walk in the door focused on the
sciences, but given the opportunities we
offered they developed the interest and
confidence to pursue these passions,”
Schuster noted.
Known for launching leaders, the
school’s Leadership Institute has grown
to offer opportunities to all students at every
level, from freshmen to seniors. Students
learn to use their strengths to listen,
inspire and empower others to be the best
they can be and make a difference in the
world.
“We find involvement in the Regina
Dominican Leadership Institute is a key
differentiating factor during the college
application process,” Schuster said. “Universities
are taking note of this program,
the impact it is having on a young woman’s
college choices is evident. Not many
students walk away from high school
with a veritable leadership portfolio, but
at Regina Dominican they have that opportunity.”
Regina Dominican’s campus is also
growing.
“We are embarking on a campus redevelopment
plan to ensure the physical
school reflects the innovation seen in our
classrooms,” Schuster explained.
To do this, they are working with alumna,
architect Carol Ross Barney, most recently
lauded for her work on Chicago’s
Riverwalk.
On the athletic front, the school is more
vibrant than ever with the recent launch of
home fields for soccer, lacrosse and softball,
plus a new athletic director who is
focused on raising the school’s competitive
profile.
Open houses are slated for Oct. 17
and Nov. 10, all are welcome. Till then,
please call to schedule a Shadow Day for
your daughter or visit rdhs.org for further
information.
