Dear Alumnae and Friends, As we move through the summer and prepare for next school year, I have taken time to reflect on the recent happenings surrounding our community and the current climate of our nation. Although many things feel uncertain, one thing I know is true. Notre Dame High School is firmly united now more than ever.

When faced with the unusual tribulations of 2020, our school community unified and flourished. Our dedicated faculty and staff were able to pivot quickly and almost immediately implemented our virtual learning plan, lending comfort and stability to our students and their families. I have never been prouder and more humbled to lead such a strong force of dynamic individuals who truly believe in our mission and continue to carry it out daily.

Yes, our school mission thrived between faculty and students but also by countless alumnae who were among the fearless frontline workers, health heroes and formidable trailblazers for social justice. It is so rewarding as an educator to see past students accomplishing their goals and transforming the world around them.

Looking back on the year 2020, we will not recall the trivial interruptions to everyday life, but we will remember who was at our side. I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our parents, alumnae and friends who seized this time of separation and showed an outpouring of prayer and support for all of us within the ND community. Engaging with one another in a virtual sense and maintaining a strong connection via our social media platforms, it was clear that ND truly did hold onto hope, firmly united together.

There is so much to celebrate and be proud of as a school community, many things captured within this edition of the LegeND. I invite you to share our collective successes, stay connected and remain united together as we forge into the bright future of Notre Dame High School.

I Heart ND Day was Thursday of that week — a day that celebrates the juniors receiving their class ring! ND loved seeing the class rings and spirit shared with us in their honor.

V I R T UA L LEARNING Notre Dame's Commitment to Academic Excellence

Notre Dame High School began Virtual Learning on Wednesday, March 25th, 2020. The administration, faculty and staff were committed to upholding the integrity of the school's strong academic program during this unprecedented situation. ND's overall approach to our Virtual Learning plan focused on maintaining structure and academic excellence.

We felt that the students, as well as their families, would continue to thrive if we preserved as much normalcy to our school day as possible. The students were expected to report virtually at the start of their scheduled classes daily. Teachers provided students with a combination of direct instruction and independent work. Virtual Learning was ultimately continued throughout the remainder of the school year with much success and positivity.

Various faculty members shared encouragement with our students via a Virtual Learning Kickoff video.

T E A M (S) W O R K Notre Dame High School was set up for Virtual Learning success with our transition to using the Microsoft TEAMS platform at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year. Our faculty and students were already acquainted with the communication and collaborative functions available on the platform as they had been using it for class assignments. ND was able to implement our Virtual Learning plan quickly and easily due to the ongoing training and professional development our faculty had received on the TEAMS platform.

FOR WE ARE

Firmly United

In April, Notre Dame spread a little bit of cheer and hope to our ND family by delivering yard signs that read "ND holds onto hope, for we are Firmly United" to all of our current students, faculty and staff members. It was a way for us to show that our community stands together even when we are apart.

"Many thanks for doing all the extras during this Virtual Learning year. I was very impressed with the swift action ND took to continue learning online. Please know all the extras and thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed."

DONNA DIERZBICKI, Mother of Megan '19 and Sara '22

We did not let going virtual stop us from sharing the wonderful aspects of Notre Dame with prospective students. ND was able to host several Virtual High School Nights for families that were interested in learning more about our offerings.

Faculty and students still had tons of fun together through virtual classes. ND loved seeing the creative assignments and unique learning setups that were shared with us! A few new furry "students" attended virtual class from time to time too.

THE ND COMMUNITY STANDS FIRMLY UNITED WHEN FACED WITH ADVERSITY & INJUSTICE

In an effort to prayerfully support and reach out to all of our ND healthcare workers fighting against COVID-19, we created a survey to gather their most up to date information. Some of those in our Notre Dame community that were experiencing the virus on the frontlines received a letter thanking them for their service and sacrifice.

ENLIGHTEN US , STRENGTHEN US , SO THAT WE MAY COMPREHEND OUR DIVINE CALL AND RECOGNIZE WHAT WE ARE , WHAT WE SHOULD BE , WHAT WE MUST DO IN ORDER TO REACH THIS GOAL. Blessed Theresa Gerhardinger

08 The Le geND

Now more than ever, small businesses need our support. We compiled and shared a running list of the small and family-owned businesses connected to our Notre Dame alumnae, parents and other members of our community. Please consider supporting these dining, retail and service establishments. View the ongoing list at www.ndhs.net/NDcares.

We released two limited edition shirt designs for pre-order in May. In honor of the Class of 2020, twenty percent of the collected proceeds were donated to the fight against COVID-19. The shirts were available for two weeks on our newly launched online Spirit Shop.

A big thank you to anyone in our ND community that placed an order!

Recent events have left our community heartbroken and seeking change.

As Catholics and as a sponsored ministry of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, we believe in and stand for the preservation and sanctity of life and in upholding the dignity of all people. As educators, we strive to help our students and staff to be informed about and understand issues surrounding racism, social justice and mercy. This alignment of faith and education is aimed to not only inform but to ignite compassion so that as individuals we can choose actions seeded in faith that promote healing and empathy. During this time, we empower our alumnae and students to evoke their powers of knowledge and faith to rise above and firmly unite humanity. We invite you to find your voice, decide what steps you are going to take as our country moves forward in building bridges, opening conversations and praying for peace. Notre Dame wants to chart a path forward that can above all transform the world through education. We are present and we are listening and admittedly, we do not have all the answers, but we are here to help. For a list of educational and resolution focused resources please visit: www.ndhs.net/solidarity.

SO LO NG, FA RE WE LL GOODBYE TO THESE FACULTY & STAFF MEMBERS WHO HAVE DEDICATED THEIR TIME TO ND

S. CELINE SCHUMACHER, SSND served as Notre Dame's chemistry and physics instructor for thirteen years.

She will now move into another stage of her life’s journey — retirement! Along with her classes, S. Celine moderated the Beta Chi Pi club and worked with students competing Surprise retirement "breakfast" to send off S. Celine in May 2020.

in the Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering (WYSE) Academic Challenge.

She said, “I truly love teaching and I love getting kids excited about science. I know I will miss interacting with the students in the days to come.” After some much-deserved time off, she hopes to visit ND periodically as a tutor. Congratulations on your retirement, S. Celine. We will miss you!

HEATHER LAWLER served as the Head of Student Life and Discipline at Notre Dame for five years. She made it her mission to get to know all things ND during her time here. Some of her sweetest memories will be the small moments that she witnessed daily at Notre Dame. She will miss the students, her passionate co-workers and the amazing environment that fosters the development of young women into confident, compassionate Christian leaders. Heather plans to finish her doctorate in December. We wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors!

MARK BAYENS served as the Athletic Director at Notre Dame for nine years. During this time, he created several varsity sports opportunities that ND did not have before — field hockey, lacrosse, tennis and wrestling. Students and parents alike are thankful for what he has done for the Notre Dame athletic program. One of Mark’s favorite memories was taking our #1 fan, Charles, to the University of Notre Dame to see the Fighting Irish play. He will be going on to serve as the President at Bishop DuBourg High School.

We wish him well in his new role!

The beloved S. Jan Berberich '67 is celebrating her 50 th anniversary as a School Sister of Notre Dame this year. Check out the highlights from her vocational career and her unwavering dedication to ND! Due to the current conditions, she is unable to celebrate this amazing milestone in-person, so be sure to send a congratulatory note instead: jberberich@ndhs.net.

ItIt''ss aa Jubilee Jubilee

S. Jan is a graduate of Notre Dame High School's class of 1967. She was hesitant to attend ND though. At the time, a large number of our students went on to become SSNDs and she believed that was not her calling.

God had other plans. During her senior year, S. Jan tried to fight His call — she remembers the exact pew in the chapel she sat in saying "God, please don't call me." But God, her persistent friend, kept knocking until she opened the door for Him.

14 The Le geND

S. Jan made her First Profession with the School Sisters of Notre Dame in 1970. She received her Bachelor's in Music Education from Notre Dame College in 1971. She then went on to serve as a teacher or principal at various schools in the Missouri and Illinois area from 1971 to 1986. She received her Master's in Theology from St. Mary's University in Texas in 1984.

In 1986, S. Jan ventured into secondary education at the suggestion of her community members. She returned to her alma mater to serve as a teacher in the Religion department. She says her position at Notre Dame "was like coming home." Students and faculty were excited to have her. She is still a favorite of many alumnae and will always be associated with Notre Dame St. Louis. After six years at ND, she left for an opportunity to teach abroad.

H A P P Y J U B I L E E , S. J A N !

"S. Jan, I will always think of frogs, cats, and tap dancing when I think of you. But mostly I will remember you as a friend, a faithful and loyal partner in teaching and, rarely, but occasionally, in “crime.” Your students love how you make learning fun and I love how you keep us all grounded in caring service. Happy Jubilee!"

"S. Jan's devotion to the young women of ND is evident.

I was witness to how dedicated she was as an advisor to our daughter Kelly '20. She wants these young women to understand that their experiences and friendships made while at ND provide them the foundation for their future.

Thank you for sharing your time, talent and treasures."

Celebration!

Celebration!

Mary Godefroid, Fellow ND Teacher

In 1992, S. Jan had the opportunity to leave Notre Dame St. Louis to serve as a teacher at Instituto Notre Dame in El Progreso, Honduras. She taught here for one school year before returning to St. Louis and to ND. She was able to visit Honduras again on several service trips with students.

Her favorite memories from Honduras include visiting the Nutrition Center to help feed the undernourished and working with the street children.

Colleen Murphy Oge '84, Parent

In 1993, S. Jan returned once again to Notre Dame High School to teach.

For more than 25 years, she has taught ND students everything from Social Studies to Spanish. She currently teaches Theology. S. Jan also serves as an academic advisor. She loves ND and having fun with the students — be that by dressing up for spirit week or throwing color for the Color Run.

"I love sharing the SSND charism with my students through the many service trips I have taken over the years.

Making connections and seeing the students share our love for the SSND mission is a joy and memory I hold dear," says S. Jan. She has had the opportunity to accompany students on several social justice trips, including a reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota and the border wall in Douglas, Arizona.

She has also visited our SSND sister schools in Germany and Japan.

ON THE FR ONTLINES Four Alumnae Share Their Perspective of the Pandemic

KATR INA " KAT IE" ST EILING '9 4 Pu lmo n a r y/ C r i tic al C are P hys ic ian B osto n Medi c a l Center

SA MANTHA TR OTTI E R '14 ICU/NICU Re gist ere d Nurse Mer c y Hosp ita l S a int Louis

How have you seen the pandemic change your outlook on healthcare, the future of our country or your connection to your local community? I have been amazed at the way the community has risen to this challenge. Everyone has chipped in to help in whatever way they can. This spirit of freely giving in a time of crisis gives me hope for the future.

What made you decide to choose a career in healthcare? Anything that specifically relates to your time at ND? I grew up in a household full of healthcare professionals. I knew I wanted to be a nurse after many positive encounters with nurses in my own personal life. When I was at ND, I loved taking S. Celine's science classes — they were my favorite!

Her love and enthusiasm for science encouraged me to pursue a career in science and health even more.

What advice would you give other women who are thinking about pursuing a career in the medical industry? One of the most important factors is identifying mentors at various stages of your education and career. The strong female advisors and mentors in my life profoundly shaped my outlook on what was possible and helped me to find a path that was right for me.

What is your most impactful ND memory? I very fondly remember the meetings with my advisor at ND. She had a tremendous impact on my self-confidence and helped me to learn the value of speaking up and standing out. Thank you, Mrs. Paddock!

16 The Le geND

In your opinion, what is the one thing you would encourage individuals to understand or takeaway from this pandemic? During this pandemic, I have experienced first hand the loss and devastation that this virus can cause, so I would encourage people to never take any time with your loved ones for granted.

What is your most impactful ND memory? All of the people who supported and encouraged me.

All of my teachers and mentors went above and beyond in order to make ND a welcoming home for me for four years.

Did your experience at ND influence your life path or values at all, specifically, confidence and self-advocacy? The [individualized learning] system fostered my independence and confidence.

The relationships I developed with my teachers and support staff were also a contributing factor. I learned and valued respect for self and others. I was not afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. I feel these values helped shape my career in healthcare and has allowed me to become a better patient advocate.

What made you decide to choose a career in healthcare? Anything that specifically relates to your time at ND? Since my earliest memories, I was drawn to the healthcare profession. It was fascinating to me. But my decision to actively pursue a healthcare career was directly related and supported by the excellent support I received at ND. Though society often threw up barriers for a woman seeking a medical degree, my advisors and teachers at ND consistently and repeatedly supported my call to be a doctor.

How have you seen the pandemic change your outlook on healthcare, the future of our country or your connection to your local community?

The pandemic has changed how we are able to deliver healthcare in a safe manner for patients and healthcare workers. We are fortunate that technology allows us to have virtual outpatient visits with our patients.

Did your experience at ND influence your life path or values at all, specifically, confidence and self-advocacy? Society often told me what my place was or what my path should be, but ND gave me the knowledge and confidence to listen to my call from God and follow it. When faced with caring for others, the models and teachings that I received in my high school years formed and supported the values that I rely on daily.

What keeps you motivated every day on the frontlines? What is your personal "WHY" and what advice would you give individuals who are navigating life during the pandemic?

My co-workers and my patients are my personal "WHY" and what keeps me motivated on a daily basis.

I am challenged daily to do my best in a caring and compassionate way. Lean on others and don't be afraid to ask for support when needed during difficult times.

What advice would you give other women who are thinking about pursuing a career in the medical industry? Hard work and dedication required. Medicine is a unique career requiring intensive, ongoing study far beyond med school.

That needs to be coupled with compassion for those we serve balanced with a need for self-care.

Stay # EverLoyal and # EverConnected with your fellow ND Alums!

Interested in promoting the advancement and preservation of NDHS? Below you will find two immediate ways you can help strengthen our ND alumnae network, promote our mission and be a champion for the future of Notre Dame High School.

Word of mouth is powerful and so are social media algorithms! A Social Media Ambassador for ND has a passion for the organization and a readiness to shine a light on Notre Dame High School within their own online profiles and followers. A Social Media Ambassador will help tell the story of Notre Dame — past and present — and have a willingness to share pieces of their own ND story when necessary. A Social Media Ambassador will be expected to share at least one ND post a week and post provided content on specific high traffic occasions i.e. Giving Tuesday and I Heart ND Day. If you are busy, this is a quick way to make a large impact! All communication will be through e-mail and zero face-to-face meetings required.

Want to become a Social Media Ambassador or Class Representative?

Want to connect and chat about something else alumnae related?

Contact Anne Marie Carroll ’04 via e-mail at amcarroll@ndhs.net.

An alumna Class Rep is a liaison between your graduating class and ND; it is a way to streamline communication to your peers, provided by the Advancement Office. Class Reps are asked to share consistent communication between your classmates and ND, help maintain a deeper connection with the school community and inspire greater levels of participation in regard to events and online giving days such as Giving Tuesday and I Heart ND Day. Minimal inperson meetings are required and communication can be tailored to your comfort level!
