Dominican Republic Mission Trip (High School)

Current 9th–12th graders are invited to join HP Pres High School for a mission trip to the Dominican Republic on June 13–19, 2026 as we partner with Mission Emanuel to serve the villages of Cielo and Nazaret, located on the western edge of Santo Domingo.

Mission Emanuel is a cross-cultural, relational, Christian ministry that strives to promote transformation through the power of Jesus Christ. Mission Emanuel meets both spiritual and physical needs of the community through local churches and an on-site pre-school, medical center, pediatric clinic, dental office, water purification plant, women’s cooperative workroom, and more. Since 2022, the High School Ministry at HP Pres has served 3 times with Mission Emanuel in the DR, and we are excited to return once again!

The total cost per person is $2,200 to cover airfare, transportation, food, and lodging, which includes a non-refundable $250 deposit. 

For additional information, please contact Bailey Ray at Bailey.ray@hppres.org

FAQs

As your student prayerfully considers serving this summer, please note a few important details about our application process:

          Step #1: Students (not parents) must first apply to one of our mission trips, telling us more about their faith and involvement at HP Pres.

          Step #2: Our staff will review applications and reach out with next steps within a few weeks, which may include a follow-up interview. Preference will be given first to students with a strong track record in Highland Students, then to applicants based on the order of submission. Note: we have limited space for each trip, so not all applicants are guaranteed a spot. We reserve the right to deny any students who do not align with the vision and goals of the trip.

          Step #3: If accepted, you will then be sent a link to register your student and pay the non-refundable registration fee. Once the registration fee is paid, your spot is secured! The remaining balance of the trip will be due by April 1, 2026.
