School Advisory Commission

A Knight is a Defender of the Faith.

An important element of the Knight Code is to work in relationship with others to defend God and His Church. At St. Dominic Catholic School, we appreciate our existence in the greater community. We are most grateful for the support of the parish in maintaining our humble excellence in providing quality academics. In addition to the wonderful staff, the school benefits from the work of the School Advisory Commission.

The School Advisory Commission serves in an advisory capacity and assists in the development and definition of the policies which govern the school. Educational innovations are areas of responsibility assumed by the committee.

Purpose and Authority

The purpose of the St. Dominic School Advisory Commission is to assist in the development and definition of policies which govern the operation of St. Dominic Catholic School, promote the implementation of said policies under the direction of the Pastoral Council, and advise and provide counsel in the operation of the school. The School Advisory Committee works collaboratively with the Home & School Association, Fine Arts Association, Athletic Association and Parish Marketing Committee. The recommendations of the School Advisory Commission shall be subject to the approval of the Pastoral Council and the Pastor of St. Dominic Parish as provided by the policy and rules of the Milwaukee Archdiocesan Office of Schools.

The committee strives to:

1. promote a Christian atmosphere and viable Catholic identity.
