Notre Dame High School

Plan to visit ND's Blood Drive, sponsored by our National Honor Society, on Monday, November 9th from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. You can schedule a donation time by visiting www.bloodcenter.org — use sponsor code 9726!

As a school community, we expressed gratitude for the founding of the School Sisters of Notre Dame congregation and celebrated our Foundress, Mother Theresa Gerhardinger, by uniting for a prayer service outside of the motherhouse with the SSND. Students also enjoyed the Foundation Day cake tradition at lunch — this year in cupcake form!

Tickets for our LIVE STREAM performance of Nunsense (A Musical Comedy) on November 13, 14, & 15 are on sale now. Visit www.ndhsperformingarts.com to buy your tickets and learn more about the show.

Congratulations to Sarah Appelbaum ‘22 who finished 7th in the golf district tournament 💙⛳️

Our sophomores had retreat on October 16! They celebrated mass, talked about hurt and forgiveness, and participated in bonding activities together.

We have been celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with daily Spanish prayers and cultural facts during October. Today, several of our students continued to share their heritage with their classmates. The celebration of Hispanic Heritage included learning traditional dances like Macarena and Banda in the gym plus a pinata in Sacred Heart Square. The building has been decorated to celebrate too — flags, posters, Quinceanera photos and a Dia de los Muertos ofrenda in the chapel are all on display. Thank you to all the students that helped us organize such a fun cultural celebration!

Our faculty and staff participated in Diversity & Inclusion Training at the end of September. Topics included the difference between diversity and inclusion, creating more inclusive environments, unconscious bias, and biases within education. This is one step we have taken to increase our own awareness and engage in a dialogue that deepens our understanding and ignites compassion so that we can chart a path forward and transform our world through education.

ND celebrated our first all school mass of the year. We “gathered” in the gym and via livestream video so we could worship all together. Grateful for our tech team and their creative solutions!

Our future is bright! We welcomed 6th, 7th and 8th grade girls to experience the spirit of ND firsthand at our premiere event, Night @ Notre Dame! ✨ The visitors practiced safe social distancing while testing their literature knowledge, flying drones, creating crafts with code, dancing and worshiping together. Shoutout to all of our faculty and students that helped make it a great night!

ND kicked off Fall Festival season with a socially distanced pep rally! 💙❤️💛💚 In these uncertain times, we can still celebrate our most favorite traditions with our students. Congratulations to the Fall Festival favorites! Students, it’s time to sell those raffle tickets and crown your queen 👑
