Dominican Youth Conference
The Dominican Youth Movement USA (DYMUSA) is a nationwide non-profit organization connecting youth/young adults to the Dominican Order’s tradition of preaching with their own call to preach. In 2015 DYMUSA brought together five different programs engaging young people of high school age through their young adult years – unifying their support and promoting their collective social impact.
The theme of the conference has remained the same: each of us is called to preach the Gospel in our own unique way. During the six-day conference, Dominicans (members of the Order of Preachers) highlight the charism of preaching as it has been practiced from the earliest days of the Order to the present. Participants meet many Dominicans who preach the Gospel in a variety of settings. Participants also have the opportunity to visit service sites where they can “put their preaching into action.”
Each day begins and ends with a prayer/ritual prepared by the participants with the assistance of Dominican liturgists. At the closing Eucharistic celebration, school teams share ways that they can take the message of the conference back to their school communities.
At the end of the conference, students are challenged with the creation of an action plan for the upcoming school year. This plan is the vehicle for sharing what they have learned at the conference to their college campuses. With the Dominican Charism firmly planted in mind, body, and spirit – the “Holy Preaching” continues!
Overnight conference out of state with Mrs. Dahlgren. Would love to bring 4 students with me to Michigan where we will be having a retreat with other high school students from around the world. This is only for high schools who follow the Dominican way as we do. Email Mrs. Dahlgren if you are interested in coming. Note there is a cost of $475 for the week.
Questions: Please Contact Mrs. Dahlgren, Campus Minister

FREE Breakfast/Lunch: What You Need To Know About Getting Reimbursed
Starting this school year, SCHS will be participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. This means that all of our students will be able to receive free, nutritious meals every school day.
Under CEP, SCHS will receive reimbursement from the federal government for providing free meals to all students. This will allow us to simplify meal service and reduce administrative burden, as we will no longer need to collect household applications for free and reduced-price meals.
Deposited funds may be refunded or donated since eligible meals are now covered by CEP. To request a refund, please complete the form by clicking HERE.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or would like more information. We are committed to providing all of our students with the support they need to succeed in school, and we believe that access to healthy meals is an important part of that support.
Donations For The Greater Good
Make a difference to those who need a boost! Check out the opportunities below:
Students are encouraged to bring in their gently used uniforms and SCHS Spirit Wear to Campus Ministry to help our families in need!
Please reach out to Mrs. Dahlgren with any questions.
