Pillars Since 2002

MISSION Notre Dame Preparatory is a Diocesan Catholic High School dedicated to the promotion of academic excellence and the pursuit of holiness through the shared values of Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility, out of love for Jesus Christ.

VISION To provide the highest quality Catholic high school educational experience, offering student-centered learning opportunities which develop the whole person: mind, body and soul.

MIND

We are a leader in Catholic education through innovation and visionary focus and constant examination of best practices.

We instill a strong spiritual foundation among our students in order to discern vocation using the God-given talents through a rigorous, multifaceted program of study.

We promote high academic standards to form future problem solvers engaged in critical and creative thinking, who are able to collaborate and utilize diverse means of education and evaluate the moral implications of their decisions.

BODY We uphold the virtues of fortitude, selflessness, sacrifice, self-mastery, integrity, strength, tenacity, humility, charity, courage and loyalty through peer support, accountability and love.

We provide an environment allowing students to feel safe, loved and validated in their physical and social-emotional development knowing they are supported across the community.

We develop the whole person by creating a culture of active participation through a variety of co-curricular and athletic activities that enhance creativity, leadership, passion, teamwork and physical health.

SOUL We partner with families to educate students in the Catholic faith, so they know their identity in Christ and their unique call to holiness.

We foster an environment where students can encounter Christ through the Sacraments of the Church, prayer, retreats and opportunities for lifelong servant leadership.

We encourage and invite students to become transformational Christian leaders who support faith, patriotism and moral values so that they may choose what is good, true and beautiful with ease and clarity.

5

At NDP, we believe “All Are Made in the Image of Jesus Christ,” so we show…

Reverence by Seeking Holiness

Pray and Worship God Serve Others Live as a Disciple

Respect by Loving Our Neighbors Honor our Human Dignity Seek the Truth Assume the Best

Responsibility by Always Doing the Right Thing Take Ownership Pursue Excellence Fulfill God’s Will

NDP- ALWAYS EXPANDING, ALWAYS GROWING Notre Dame Preparatory, a Diocesan Catholic High School, was founded in 2002 by a group of committed citizens who wanted to bring a Catholic high school to Scottsdale. With the help of the Diocese of Phoenix, NDP was able to secure a bond to purchase a private elementary school campus. This campus has grown to encompass a gymnasium, chapel, two-story classroom building and stadium complex. Most recently, NDP opened the St. Catherine of Bologna Performing Arts Center (PAC).

The PAC is named after St. Catherine of Bologna, the Patron Saint of the Arts. The 20,000-square foot building houses NDP's instrumental musical education classrooms, and choir, dance, drama and digital video studios. We have also added classes in stagecraft and set design.

As we consider the ever-changing landscape of education, it is important for us to think forward to advance our Catholic mission by preparing our students for life beyond NDP. Part of that process includes investing in the facilities that support our Catholic calling and modern-day learning.

As soon as the funds are secured, NDP anticipates moving quickly to address other needs. Some of those priorities include the completion of the stadium complex, STEM classrooms and the construction of “Saints Hall” to accommodate in-door dining, large gatherings and additional sacred space, among other priorities.

7

Faith Faith is an integral part of life at Notre Dame Prep. We fully trust in the tenents and mission of the Catholic Church to allow students to be disciples of God, so that they might go forth and improve the world. Parents are the primary religious educators and nurturers of their children’s spirituality and we partner with parents by offering a vibrant faith life on campus.

10 Houses - One Community of Saints

16

The House System at Notre Dame Prep sets us apart from most high schools in the Valley. Our student body is divided into 10 Houses—these Houses build community, mentorship and opportunities for growth and leadership. But mostly, they provide a place where each student, faculty and staff member has a place to belong.

The goal is to find and foster the brilliance in each student and to give each soul on campus a place where they are embraced by their fellow House members while building a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and a desire to live in true discipleship.

Being a member of a House gives our students time throughout the day for real interpersonal interaction with students from all grades and members of our faculty and staff. The House System allows students to be recognized for more than GPA or athletic achievement, but for their human kindness.

Our Houses are named for the great Saints throughout the ages. And with the name, each House represents a key virtue of their Saint – fortitude, selflessness, sacrifice, integrity, strength, tenacity, humility, charity, courage, and loyalty.

The Houses compete for House points through academics, Christian service, school spirit, and enthusiastic competitions, while demonstrating Reverence, Respect and Responsibility toward each other. These efforts lead to the coveted House of the Year Award!

The Notre Dame Preparatory athletic programs are part of the fabric of our community. Athletics at NDP promote individual dignity, personal development, and social interaction in a supportive and highly competitive environment. We are very proud of our athletic tradition and success. We compete locally, regionally, nationally and internationally in more than 27 interscholastic sports and activities. Our teams have enjoyed great success in every sport and activity that we offer. Our commitment to provide young men and women with dynamic opportunities for personal growth and formation through athletics impacts each of them for a lifetime. About 80 percent of our students choose to participate in athletics. NDP continues to accept the challenge to compete against schools much larger in size-but not in heart.

NDP has a strong history of champions. Our football team sports an impressive 42-7 win loss record under current coach George Prelock. Our D1 and D3 hockey teams both named state champions in 2021. Our cheer team placed first for large show-cheer team in the state and they placed second at nationals in 2020.

Our Saints signed NCAA letters of intent to play at their chosen sport at the collegiate level. More than 20 athletes signed to play at the college level during the 2020-21 school year.

The Fine Arts Department at NDP seeks to maximize the creative potential in each student. NDP students are encouraged to explore the arts. Art students enhance their individual creativity while collaborating and supporting each other.

Through NDP’s many arts programs, students find their niche while discovering hidden talents. We offer many classes including choir, guitar orchestra, jazz ensemble, drawing, painting. ceramics, photography, acting, dance and digital video production (NDP Live).

We are the leading high school in digital video production, thanks to our student’s impressive work with NDP Live!. Our teams both behind and in front of the camera have won several awards.

Each semester we sponsor a Fine Arts Festival under the lights on our beautiful campus with artwork produced by our talented artists and entertainment provided by our performing arts students.

In keeping with the Catholic tradition of forming humble servants to foster God’s people, our performing and visual arts students find opportunities each year to share their talents with those in need.

“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” Mother Teresa

“Christian Service not only gives us an opportunity to see how fortunate and blessed we are, but it also allows us to build relationships with people who we wouldn’t otherwise know and those relationships are impactful and meaningful.”

Shelley Dinges, NDP Director of Christian Service 22

Christian Service Notre Dame Preparatory is unwavering in its commitment to the mission of the Catholic Church. We educate our students to understand their place in this world as servant leaders, especially to serve those who are less fortunate and marginalized. As part of graduation requirements, our students are expected to complete a minimum of 120 hours of Christian service with many going above and beyond. In fact, during the 2020-21 school year, students reported more than 23,000 completed Christian service hours.

Globally, our students organize fundraisers for hurricane victims and supply drives for schools. They travel on mission trips around the world to help those in need.

School-wide service events include campus beautification projects and assisting with school fundraisers and community building events.

NPD's Saints 5K helps raise awareness for teen mental health, while raising money for the nonprofit notMYkid.

Notre Dame Preparatory was recognized as a Global Level Platinum High School by Catholic Relief Services for dedication to advancing Catholic social teachings and compassion for the poor worldwide.
