Open House

Middle school & High school Open House is a great way for prospective families and students to get an inside look at Dominion's academic offerings and extra-curricular opportunities in a uniquely Christian environment.

Youth for Youth Benefit 
DCS is giving the gift of Christian summer camp to kids in Africa. There are three ways you can support!

   

 

Freedom Church Benefit Concert  

474 Hiram Sudie Rd. Dallas

November 8th at 7pm

Mrs. Sethna is hosting the event and

Harrison Huff will be one of the performers so come out and support Dominion's own. 

   

 

  If you are unable to attend, you can place your donation in your class gift box,

located in the lobby near Dr. Whittaker's room. There you can see photos and read testimonials from past campers and directors.

 

  We have 10 days to each give $10 - October 29 - November 7. 

 

 Mrs. Sethna volunteers with JWF, which is an organization made up entirely of volunteers passionate about camp ministry. It is a 501c3 non-profit charity and all donors can receive a tax-deduction receipt. (If you want a receipt for a cash donation, put the money in an envelope and include your name and email address).
