Our Mission Matters Notre Dame educates today's young women for leadership, global citizenship and sociallyresponsible entrepreneurship. Our mission and the Hallmarks of a Notre Dame learning community grounds our work in a commitment to holistic education, the dignity of all people and action on behalf of social justice. Our rich urban landscape and innovative programs cultivate young women with strong voices who will bring intelligent compassion to their world - young women who become active leaders in our local, national and global communities.

Mission Statement Notre Dame High School, in the heart of downtown San Jose since 1851, provides young women an exemplary Catholic, college-preparatory education to become life-long learners, spiritual seekers, justice advocates and community leaders. We are inspired by Saint Julie Billiart and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. We empower young women and

"teach them what they need to know for life.”

As a first year teacher, Notre Dame worked intentionally to make me feel included and supported in the school community. Working closely with a coach, planning with and observing expert veteran teachers, and carefully selected professional development meetings have all contributed to my development as an educator and have increased my impact and effectiveness in the classroom."
