Dear San Domenico Alumni,

As San Domenico marks its 175th anniversary, there is much to celebrate: our rich history as the longest-standing independent school in California, the vitality of our present, and the tremendous sense of possibility that lies ahead. It’s difficult to spend time on campus these days without feeling a sense of pride and momentum. Students are learning and working together in ways that reflect the very best of our values-based, kind, and ambitious community. Faculty are united by a shared commitment to helping every student thrive. Across our school, learning is alive with curiosity and collaboration, and the spirit of San Domenico shines brightly in daily life.This 175th year is a moment to honor the generations who built this community and the core values of study, reflection, community, and service that continue to define us. Those values guide everything we do, from how we teach and learn to how we care for one another. They connect us across time, linking San Domenico’s past, present, and future.
 

We believe deeply that once you’re part of San Domenico, you’re part of it for life. Alumni and their families are vital to who we are today and to the future we’re building. This message marks a renewed commitment to staying connected in meaningful ways. You’ll be hearing from us more often this year, with updates, invitations, and opportunities to engage.

 

On a recent campus visit, President Emerita Sister Gervaise catches up with Head of School Paul Sanders. Together, they reflect on San Domenico during our 175th anniversary year, thanks to the foundational values passed on to our community by the Dominican Sisters and the generations of alumni who have come before us.

There is a place for you here, whether by mentoring students, attending performances or games, volunteering, or simply reconnecting with the people and place that helped shape your path. Throughout this anniversary year, I hope you’ll join us for milestone moments such as the 175th Gala and Alumni Reunion Weekend, Tableaux, and other cherished traditions. 

As I begin my second year as Head of School, I’m deeply committed to strengthening alumni engagement as a core institutional priority. I value the trust this community places in me and look forward to building San Domenico’s future together, true to the values that have guided us for 175 years.

Warmly,
Paul Sanders, P ’34
Head of School
