Dominion Ridge Academy Reaffirms Ethos Amidst False Letter Circulation

It has come to our attention that a letter bearing the former logo, name, and address of Dominion Ridge Academy has been circulated within our community, casting disparaging remarks on members of the community. We want to be unequivocally clear: this letter was not authored or endorsed by anyone at our school, nor does it reflect our views or ethos.

At Dominion Ridge Academy, we take immense pride in being a Christian school, upholding a firm conviction of the vision cast by Jesus, as our example, in Mark 12:30-31: “…and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. ‘ The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ‘ There is no other commandment greater than these’”. Our mission is to serve the Lord, our students, and the broader community with love, dignity, and respect.

Exploiting our name and credibility to disseminate divisive or false information is a grave misrepresentation that undermines the trust we’ve worked so diligently to foster with our neighbors and
community members. We are disheartened that our name and reputation would be brought into question in a manner such as this.

Please rest assured that we are taking the necessary steps to investigate, and we encourage community members to approach us directly should they have concerns or require clarity on any matter pertaining to our school.

I am so grateful that we can lean on the Word of God, which allows us to keep our focus on serving God and our community.

In His grace and truth,
Lorraine Hewitt, M.Ed., PCET
