POPE BENEDICT XVI
The 2018-19 school year was full of exciting moments for Saints fans, including our boys’ lacrosse team making history by winning a third straight State Championship and Gatorade announcing Jake Smith as their National Football Player of the Year.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen surprised Smith at a ceremony in our newly renovated weight room, where Smith was surrounded by his family, teammates and coaches.
Notre Dame Prep continues to accept the challenge to compete against schools larger in size—but not in heart. For the third straight year, our football team went undefeated in regular season play; our pom and cheer teams competed at Nationals and placed third in most varsity categories.
The Saints D1 and D2 hockey teams continue to demonstrate that NDP is a hockey powerhouse, with our teams consistently ranking high in the state. The same is true for both our boys’ and
girls’ golf and tennis programs.

We are proud of our student-athletes who make up 80 percent of the student body. Our community is inspired by those who compete out of love for their sport, whether in front of hundreds of fans or just a few loyal supporters.
We celebrate and value all the Saints who represent our school on the field, pitch, court, chess table and Robotics competitions. There is something for everyone at Notre Dame Prep, and we look forward to continue competing at a high level across the board.
