Notre Dame High School

Class Names ✔️ Cheerleaders ✔️ CMs and Favorites ✔️ Fall Festival season is officially underway! Students, it's time to sell those raffle tickets and crown your queen 👑

Yesterday, Notre Dame raised over $1000 for those in need. Seniors and Sophomores worked together to collect funds for Afghanistan refugees settling in St. Louis. Juniors and Freshmen worked together to collect funds for earthquake victims in Haiti. A student-led presentation about both devastating situations was held during Activity Period. Idele Durandisse '23, a Haiti refugee herself, shared testimony and pictures from a family member that still lives in Haiti. Tiearra Terry '22 further explained the struggles Afghan refugees are facing and how the International Institute in St. Louis is helping.

It's almost here! We hope everyone can join us for our Annual Fall Festival on Sunday, October 10th. The “Day of Schedule” and more can be found on the “Fall Festival 2021” page.

Why do ND students like our modular schedule? “I like that I am able to do homework during my open mods. I don't have to stress and find time after school between my other activities like sports. The modular schedule has taught me how to manage my time more efficiently!” — Anna Pagano ‘23

Notre Dame introduced a new program that connects current students with alumnae — Coffee & Careers! This is a monthly series that invites alum from various professions to come back to ND and share the what, how and why of their career with juniors and seniors considering a future in that field. The first installment of Coffee & Careers focused on health professions. Thank you to the alumnae that participated today! If you are an alum and are interested in connecting with ND students about your career too, please fill out the form at ndhs.info/careers.

Ready for a first-hand peek inside life at Notre Dame? We have in-person visit opportunities for eighth graders and their families this fall. Schedule a shadow day or private tour at ndhs.info/visit. Be sure to check out the other great events we have coming up at ND too — like Virtual High School Night and Rebel For A Day! We can't wait to meet you and share about all the awesome things you will find here!

Notre Dame’s Esports team represented us well during the St. Louis Science Center’s First Friday Nintendo Night! 🎮

Last week, our English department offered some fun class engagement opportunities! Students in Lit & Comp participated in a "speed dating" activity to discuss their summer reading book and students in ACC Lit had a zoom call with Dr. Kia Jane Richmond, a literary scholar/author who specializes in the portrayal of mental illness in YA literature.

Did you know ND has 20+ student-led clubs?! Club Rush featured all of our favorites plus a few NEW clubs like American Movie Critics and Women of the World (Diversity Club).

"Rebel For A Day" is back! All 6th, 7th and 8th grade girls are invited to join us on campus Friday, October 1st from 7:45AM – 12:30PM to experience life at Notre Dame firsthand. Spaces are filling up fast, so visit ndhs.info/rebelday to reserve your spot now! #rebelforaday

August 26th is #WomensEqualityDay. On this day, the US commemorates the official ratification of the nineteenth amendment which guaranteed American women the right to vote. It is important to remember that worldwide women are still facing injustices to their fundamental rights — one of those being their right to education. "Transforming the world through education" is at the core of the School Sisters of Notre Dame's mission. Notre Dame High School fosters this mission and encourages our students to advocate for a global community where all women have the opportunity to receive an education.

Our first Virtual High School Night of the year is just a month away! Tune in to our live presentation all about ND on September 23rd, September 28th, October 4th, October 13th or October 26th (Spanish-speaking). There are two available sessions each night — 7:00PM & 7:50PM. Pre-registration is now open at ndhs.info/hsnreg.

We love the new ND tradition of the seniors gathering together to watch the sunrise on their last first day! 🌅 #seniorsunrise
