Welcome to Notre Dame High School!


At Notre Dame Jr./Sr. High School, we are proud to uphold a rich tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and service. Since 1951 we have been dedicated to nurturing the minds, bodies, and spirits of our students, preparing them to succeed in all aspects of life.

Academic Excellence
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to academic excellence. Our rigorous curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire students to reach their full potential. With a focus on critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, we empower students to become lifelong learners and leaders in their communities.

Our dedicated faculty members are passionate about teaching and mentoring students, providing individualized support and guidance every step of the way. Through small class sizes and personalized attention, we ensure that each student receives the education they deserve.

All students graduate with a New York State, Regents, or Advanced Regents Diploma. Students are able and encouraged to take dual-credit courses at Notre Dame that award high school and SUNY college credit through Genesee Community College. Students interested in trades may participate in the CTE programs available through half-day programming at Genesee Valley BOCES.

Athletic Achievement
In addition to academic pursuits, we believe in the importance of physical fitness and sportsmanship. Our athletic programs offer a wide range of opportunities for students to develop their talents and compete at the highest levels. Whether on the field, court, or track, our athletes demonstrate determination, teamwork, and dedication to excellence.

Notre Dame students are encouraged to participate in any of the 22 sports teams competing in Section V athletics. Additionally, student-driven club offerings update each year to meet all interests.

Service to Others
Central to our identity as a Catholic school is our commitment to serving others. We instill in our students a sense of compassion, empathy, and social responsibility, encouraging them to make a positive difference in the world. Through service projects, volunteer opportunities, and outreach initiatives, our students learn the value of giving back and building a more just and compassionate society.

Faith and Community
Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, our school fosters a vibrant faith community where students are encouraged to grow spiritually and morally. Through prayer, worship, and religious education, we deepen our students' understanding of their Catholic faith and inspire them to live out its values in their daily lives. Our inclusive and welcoming community celebrates diversity and embraces all who walk through our doors.
