Description

It is once again the time of the year where we ask our local business community and friends of our school to help support our annual Gala to be held on Saturday, May 7, 2022, where we will celebrate the school's history…and future!  As the pandemic challenges continued this past year, Notre Dame forged on with its mission to educate young people in the Catholic tradition.  With resilience and determination, we successfully managed to have all students safely back in the building for in-person instruction, as we continued to accommodate the ever-changing needs of our students.  

 

Our 2021 Gala last May was a huge success despite the many guidelines and restrictions! It was a unique time in our history to celebrate the proud Notre Dame legacy.  In this unprecedented time, our faith and our belief in the value of a Catholic education enables that legacy to impact many future generations of students.  Undeterred by the overwhelming challenges the pandemic continues to present, we are looking forward to a Gala that is celebratory for all of the traditional reasons, but also to celebrate the strong faith, resilience and determination of our board members, administration, faculty, staff, parents, volunteers, students and the generosity of donors like you.

 

Our families willingly sacrifice to provide the gift of a Notre Dame education to their children, but tuition alone cannot cover the costs associated with current educational needs.  We remain grateful to the businesses and individuals like you who help support our students and our school. Some of the proceeds from this year’s Gala will be offered as financial aid for families in need (funds will be distributed as set forth in our financial aid guidelines), providing the opportunity for students to continue their Catholic education. These funds are also earmarked for updating technology, a continuous need for providing a quality education.
