Notre Dame High School

In May, we raised our glasses in honor of S. Jan Berberich '67. It was wonderful to see alumnae, current and past faculty members, as well as fellow SSNDs on campus to celebrate her dedication to Notre Dame High School for the last 35 years! Her presence at ND will be greatly missed. We want to thank her for being one of Notre Dame's greatest role models for hundreds of young women. Thank you for everything and happy retirement, S. Jan! 💙

Congratulations to graduate Grace Schardan '22 who placed third in Saint Louis University's inaugural Undergraduate Writing Award: 1818 High School Edition writing contest with her poem submission! This competition was open to ALL students taking ANY 1818 credit through SLU this semester. Grace will be attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the fall.

On Sunday, May 22, we celebrated the 87th graduating class of Notre Dame High School! We are so proud of these confident, compassionate Christian women. Congratulations to the Class of 2022! 💙🎓

During Legacy Week, we asked alums to nominate someone they thought should receive Honorary NDHS Alum status. This new initiative honors those that didn’t graduate from Notre Dame, but still embody our mission nonetheless. We received 20 applications and chose 5 to be members of our first Honorary Alum class: 💙 Beth Catanzaro ‘88 💙 Julie Devoti ‘90 💙 Liz Miller ‘00 💙 Kristen Kreitner ‘07 💙 Kelly Haffner ‘14 Julie and Liz were able to join us at our Alum Induction to receive their honorary status. Congratulations to our new inductees! We are lucky to have them in our community as strong supporters of our mission and the legacy of this institution. Thank you for being true alums of the heart!

The Class of 2022 was officially welcomed into Notre Dame's alumnae community during our Alum Induction ceremony. Together they pledged to remain faithful and true hearted to their alma mater. Our guest alum speaker, Colleen Oge '84, reminded us all, "This is family. This is home." Congratulations, seniors! 💙
