With a history for spiritual and academic excellence dating back almost to the turn of the century, Notre Dame strives to prepare young people for the world they will inherit and shape.
From the creative learning environment of the Montessori classroom (3, 4 and 5 year olds) to the rigorous college preparatory curriculum of its high school, Notre Dame offers a faith-centered, comprehensive academic program that challenges each student to achieve with a goal to keep low teacher/student ratios. Small student/teacher ratios help instill an enthusiasm for learning and foster a nurturing atmosphere where students can explore, experiment, discover and develop individual interests and talents.
Notre Dame offers every student a variety of opportunities for involvement and leadership - in the school community and on its playing fields - that promote a balanced development of mind, body and character.
Knowledge, relationship skills, Christian values, community life and spirituality intertwine at Notre Dame. Values and convictions upheld by the School teach students that people are more important than material gain; that justice is more important than success; that life is more important than esteem; and that collaboration unites while competition divides.

The traditions of Notre Dame Catholic School are drawn from the Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur who, in 1904, founded the Academy of Mary Immaculate. The Congregation of the Holy Cross joined the Sisters of Saint Mary to include high school age boys.
The present elementary school campus opened in the fall of 1954 and was known as Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish School. The Benedictine Sisters staffed the School from 1956 to 1968 to coincide with the closing of the Academy.
In 1968, Sacred Heart Elementary School merged with Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish School, creating a multi-parish school. Today, students attend from these parishes, as well as other churches in the area. In 1976, Our Lady Queen of Peace School and Notre Dame Catholic School merged together under one School Advisory Council. In 1986, a middle school was instituted to better serve the needs of early adolescents.
