Our students consistently perform above the state average in academics and excel in academic competitions such as Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering (WYSE), Mathletes, and forensics tournaments. Regina Dominican offers our students a variety of other ways to develop their leadership and skills: through the wide range of sports offered by the Athletic Department; student government; fine arts and performance arts opportunities; student publications; service and outreach projects; and a variety of clubs that meet the needs and interests of all of our students.

In a new venture, Regina Dominican is showing its commitment to women's education through its involvement in �Together 4 You.� In this exciting effort, the Madonna Foundation and five Catholic girls' schools in the Archdiocese of Chicago are combining their resources to better market the many benefits that a single-gender Catholic education brings to young women. Also involved in �Together 4 You� are Josephinum Academy, Notre Dame High School for Girls, Queen of Peace High School, St. Scholastica Academy, and Trinity High School .
