About the Jr. & Sr. High School

Notre Dame Junior/Senior High School (grades 6-12) is committed to nurturing the academic, spiritual, and personal growth of each student. As the region’s only Catholic secondary school, we offer an inclusive and faith-centered environment built on trust, respect, active listening, and truth.

About Our Program

Our mission is to nurture each student’s unique gifts and guide them toward their fullest potential—intellectually, morally, creatively, and spiritually. Communication skills, moral values, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving are central to our approach.

Daily religion classes, prayer services, and liturgies underscore our commitment to faith and development, while campus ministry and service initiatives connect Gospel values to meaningful community action.
