Our Lady of the Elms Common Area

History of the Common Area

The commons of Our Lady of the Elms serve as a space to host events, study with peers, and serve meals. Here, students experience the Dominican pillar of Community on a daily basis. In the past, Cotillion and May Dance were held here. Now, the commons serve as our study hall area and lunch room while also typically being a space where service projects are displayed. Both then and now the space has allowed for memories to be created during Sports Banquet and annual fundraisers.
