For over 90 years, Notre Dame High School has been rooted in strong Catholic traditions while preparing young women for college success and beyond. Our mission is to develop students to become confident, compassionate Christian leaders through a rigorous college preparatory education.
At Notre Dame, students benefit from a unique academic approach that mirrors the college experience. With a modular schedule and 1:1 advising, every student receives personalized support while learning essential skills such as time management, organization, and self-advocacy. This structure not only fosters academic excellence but also encourages students to take ownership of their learning.
Our innovative curriculum includes small group discussions, hands-on labs, studio work, independent research, and collaborative projects.
Notre Dame High School is proudly sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, affiliated with the National Catholic Educational Association and accredited by Cognia. Our beautiful campus is a place where young women grow in faith, knowledge, and leadership—ready to thrive in college and in life after.
We invite you to visit and experience the Notre Dame difference for yourself.
