Gold Seal Award and Honor Roll
The honor roll at St. Dominic Parish School has been designed to encourage and recognize student character development in both social and academic areas. Students are encouraged to treat their teachers and fellow students with dignity and respect.
Character development is seen as an essential aspect of education. For this reason, students are not eligible for an honor roll certificate if their behavior and work habit grades are not marked as G (Good) or O (Outstanding).
