President Sister Mary Margaret Pachucki, O.P.

Welcome to the Regina Dominican website. We are pleased to share with you our proud history, our current programs, and our vision for preparing women for global leadership.

Regina Dominican is a Catholic, Dominican, college preparatory school for young women founded in 1958 by the Dominican Sisters of Adrian, Michigan. Our school environment, our educational programs, and all that we do reflect Veritas (Truth) and Caritas (Compassion), the mottos of the Dominican Order, and are firmly grounded on the Dominican pillars of prayer, study, community, and service.

In a female-centered environment, our students thrive as they engage in rigorous academic studies, spiritual growth opportunities, the fine arts, athletics, service experiences, and a wide variety of extra-curricular activities.

Regina Dominican is blessed with a diverse student body that mirrors the world community. In this setting, our young women have numerous opportunities to grow in their appreciation and understanding of the similarities and differences of various faiths and cultures that enrich us all.

We are especially proud of the Regina Dominican Leadership Institute, which challenges and inspires young women to become leaders in a changing, diverse, multicultural, and global community. The Institute supports innovative practices designed to prepare young women to be active citizens of the world, and to lead lives committed to leadership, community, faith, innovation, and excellence by acting as a recognized center for leadership development within the larger community.

As you tour this website, I hope you are delighted and excited by all that you see and discover about Regina Dominican. Enjoy the journey!

Sincerely,
Mary Margaret Pachucki, O.P.

 

Principal Meg Bigane

Welcome to Regina Dominican!

Regina girls achieve, learn, pray and love. What better environment to learn in surrounded by such hard working young women who are driven to succeed and motivated to learn? I am encouraged and inspired to be the Principal at Regina Dominican and to be working with the best faculty, staff and students in the Chicagoland area. I am in my fourth year at Regina and know you will love our community as we all do.

With students coming from over 41 zip codes and our burgeoning international population, we recognize the diversity of our world and are preparing our students to be successful in all they pursue. 76 percent of our faculty hold a Master’s degree or higher and our size allows for each student to receive the individualized attention and personalized instruction she needs. It is this kind of faculty and student dedication that allows for the continuous acceptance rate to top colleges and universities.

We also like to have fun and give back at Regina Dominican. With over 26 student organizations and clubs, five councils of student government and six national and international honor societies, our students are involved in everything from our award-winning Crown online newspaper, Kaleidoscope literary magazine and Star yearbook to Check Please, Regina! as well as academic clubs. In addition, our athletic program is comprised of 12 different competitive sports that allow for all students to pursue their athletic interests.

I welcome you to join us at Regina and become part of all of the successes of our students, faculty, staff and the entire Regina Dominican community.

Go Panthers!

Miss Meg Bigane
