Message Regarding St. Dominic Academy Auburn Campus

Since the end of the academic year and the closure of the high school division of St. Dominic Academy in June, the Diocese of Portland has been actively evaluating options for the Auburn campus. While there are no current plans to sell the property, the diocese remains committed to carefully discerning the best possible use of the campus for the future. In the meantime, every effort will be made to ensure that the facilities are used responsibly and in ways that serve Catholic education, the local community, and the wider mission of the Church in Maine.

Enrollment for the St. Dominic Academy pre-k to grade 8 programs for fall 2025 is strong. As previously communicated, all grades will be at the Holy Cross campus in Lewiston for the 2025-2026 academic year and middle school athletic programs will have use of the Auburn campus for practice and competition. Now that there is a better indicator of enrollments, the diocese will evaluate and discern what is the best location for the academy for the 2026-2027 academic year and beyond.
