Our three daughters attended Notre Dame for four years. They were each respected as individuals and challenged according to their own abilities. They were not just numbers, but known as individuals by faculty, staff and administration. Students at Notre Dame are challenged academically, loved for who they are, and respected members of the community. That was important for us...truly educating the whole child (mind, body and spirit), not just saying it in marketing materials. Notre Dame was the best investment we made. They are the people they are today because of what they were taught at Notre Dame.

Notre Dame does a great job helping their students become the best version of themselves. The faculty, coaches and staff are very nurturing . You become part of the Notre Dame family the minute you step in the door. There is so much to offer the students not only academically, but also athletically, in the arts and with their clubs. My children love going to school and have made lifetime friends at Notre Dame. I feel that they are being supported in the best way possible.

As a student graduating in a few months, I can honestly say that Notre Dame was the best four years of my life. High school was a very memorable phase that many ND students will never quite forget about. I learned the importance of family, love, and life. I grew into the person that I am today because of Notre Dame. I have so many good memories that I will always take with me. Notre Dame has shaped me into the person that I am today both inside and out of the classroom by giving me independence. ND prepared me for college and helped me get into my top school. I will forever be grateful to my teachers and counselors for always pushing me to do my best. Some of my most memorable experiences were prom, Kairos, sports games, homecoming, and cotillion. We call ourselves the "Hooligans" and will forever support each other. Everyone says we are family and we truly are. Leaving this place will be the toughest thing I will ever have to do, but I know that I will always be a part of the Irish family and always welcome back.

My daughter and son both graduated from NDHS. I believe they received an excellent education in a school that supports and encourages students to develop the confidence to work hard and do well. My children grew academically , socially and spiritually . I highly recommend this school. They were accepted into eighteen colleges in which they applied. They have become independent, caring and confident young adults.
