*I recently sat down with alumnus Jack Houston, who graduated from Dominion in 2023. He is now attending Grove City College, and he answered a few questions for me after completing his first semester of freshman year. *

*Hi Jack! Tell me your background with Dominion and what you’re up to now. *

“I went to Dominion all thirteen years. I graduated this past summer, and I’m a freshman at Grove City. I’m currently majoring in entrepreneurship, but that could change—maybe to Biblical Studies, or maybe something else in the business school.”

 

*In what ways did Dominion prepare you for college? *

“Academically, [Dominion] definitely prepared me well. I think some of my college classes are easier than a lot of my friends who went to other schools find them to be. Especially going to a Christian school, the classical Christian background helped out with my general education classes. I knew most of what I learned from my first college Bible class from Dominion. Also, relationally, I think Dominion prepared me because I can enjoy being around anybody because having a small class at Dominion required me to get along with everyone—even if they were different from me.” 

 

*What else makes Dominion unique?* 

“I did a lot more writing than a lot of my friends. We definitely had more discussion in class. A lot of people are used to lecture style, and I’m still getting used to that.” 

 

*What is something unexpected you took away from Dominion that you didn’t realize you gained until you left?*

“This might not be unexpected, but to get to know your teachers and use them as resources. Looking back, I can tell all the teachers really cared. You can take that for granted while you’re at school, but then now that I’m at college I can see, ‘Oh wow, all these teachers really were pouring into us, and they really wanted to know me.’”

 

*What do you miss about Dominion?*

“I do kind of miss having my small group of really close friends and seeing them all the time. It’s nice to have a bigger group of people, but I sometimes miss just having my two closest friends around me all the time. Also, I played just about every sport at Dominion, so I miss doing that. I play baseball now, and I love it, but being able to play soccer and basketball even if I wasn’t amazing at them was a lot of fun.” 

 

*If you had kids, would you want to send them to Dominion? *

“Yes.”

 

*Tell me more! *

“Well, I think I had a really good experience with Dominion. Dominion teaches truth and teaches how to think. Ultimately, they put God at the center of everything.” 

 

*What is a moment from school that always makes you laugh? *

“Probably for the past four or five years, decorating the guys' bathroom for Christmas was a highlight. People put a lot of effort into it, it was such a quirky and fun thing to do.” 

 

*Do you have a favorite book you read at Dominion?*

*"There are a bunch, but I really liked Quo Vadis, which was our summer read between sophomore and junior year."*
