Our History

Saint Dominic Elementary School was the first Catholic elementary school to be estab­lished on Long Island. In 1914, Monsignor Charles Canivan arrived at Saint Dominic Par­ish, where he began his 30-year tenure as pastor. Under Monsignor Canivan’s leadership, ground broke on Saint Dominic Elementary School in 1922. In 1924, sisters from the Im­maculate Heart of Mary in Scranton, PA, opened the school, registering between 48 to 60 students for each class.
