Rooted in Faith: The Legacy of the Akron Dominicans

Our Lady of the Elms School stands as a living testament to the vision and commitment of the Akron Dominican Sisters, whose legacy of faith, education, and service has shaped generations in Akron, Ohio. Founded in 1923, the Elms was established as part of the Sisters’ mission to provide a faith-filled, academically rigorous education for young women and, later, for students of all ages. Rooted in the Dominican charism of prayer, study, community, and service, the Akron Dominicans built more than a school—they nurtured a community where spiritual growth and intellectual pursuit go hand in hand. Their legacy continues today in the classrooms, chapel, and campus traditions of Our Lady of the Elms, inspiring students to live lives of faith, leadership, and purpose in the Akron community and beyond.
