Exciting Sports Update! 🌟🏌️‍♀️ Notre Dame sophomore Lilly Eilers showcased her incredible talent and determination as the sole qualifier for the Class 2 State Golf Tournament at Fremont Hills Country Club in Nixa, MO! With impressive rounds of 101 and 103, Lilly finished 36th out of a competitive field of 91 golfers on October 21-22. This marks her second consecutive appearance at the state tournament, and she’s already looking forward to more chances to shine before graduation! Way to go, Lilly! Keep up the fantastic work!

We couldn’t be prouder of our students and their amazing dedication to learning and making a difference! 🌟 Notre Dame students Roshel, Amy, Leslie, and Micah joined peers from area private high schools at St. Joseph Academy for a powerful Social Justice Seminar focused on diversity and inclusion. Together, they explored ways to strengthen communication and foster a more inclusive school community. We joined together with other high school students from private schools around the area to study topics like racism and segregation. They learned about the history of the Father Dickson Cemetery, a segregated resting place, and participated in a meaningful service project, where they cleaned the cemetery and placed flowers on graves.

🎾✨ Tennis Stars Shine at State: Senior Emily Jackson (singles) and Juniors Katie Lumsden and Lilly McKay (doubles)! ✨🎾 We are so proud of our talented athletes who represented us at the Class 1 Individual State Tennis Tournament at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield! Senior Emily Jackson shared that it was a fantastic way to conclude her high school career. Congratulations, ladies! Your achievements inspire us all, and we can’t wait to see you back at state next fall!

🏐✨ Volleyball Team Update✨🏐 We are thrilled to announce that Notre Dame’s own Gwen Keeven has made history! The senior outside hitter has achieved not one, but TWO incredible career milestones! Congratulations, Gwen! Your dedication and hard work have led to these remarkable accomplishments, and the entire Notre Dame community couldn’t be prouder of you! 💙🙌 On October 17, during the Rebels' Senior Night game against Bayless, Gwen recorded her 1,000th career kill, a feat that few athletes accomplish. Just a week later, on October 24, she hit the 1,000 mark in career digs during a thrilling Class 3 District 3 semifinal win over Herculaneum!

🌿🌍 Our Biology 2 students had an amazing field trip to the St. Louis Zoo, diving into the wonders of ecology! They kicked off the trip with an engaging presentation on biodiversity and conservation, then explored the zoo, connecting classroom learning with real-life examples of protecting our planet. From learning about C.H.I.P.P.O.—the biggest threats to biodiversity—to brainstorming powerful solutions, our students were inspired to make a difference. What a fantastic way to experience science in action! 🦁🐢🌱

The Notre Dame Volleyball team knocked off Maplewood-Richmond Heights Monday night in straight sets (25-20, 25-18, 25-15) at Hancock to win the Class 3, District 3 Championship! The district title was the first in three seasons for the Rebels who now advance to the state sectional round where they take on Cardinal Ritter at 6:30 pm Thursday at Cardinal Ritter. A win Thursday pushes the team in the quarterfinal round Saturday most likely at home. Congratulations to the players, managers and coaches on a wonderful season. Good luck the rest of the way Rebels.
