Notre Dame High School offers such a loving and supportive community, which helped me to break out of my shell and become who I am today. The school prides themselves on the motto, "teach them what they need to know for life" and focuses on empowering women & young girls to become the next generation of justice advocates.

Notre Dame High School has given me a supportive and empowering environment where I've grown academically and personally through leadership, volunteering, and diverse extracurriculars. While I appreciate the strong sense of community, I would love to see more improvement in facilities and resources.

Enthusiasm....
