  • Open House

    Experience Notre Dame High School like never before! Step inside, feel the energy and discover what makes ND a place where students thrive. The Notre Dame Showcase is a reimagined Spring Open House, designed to bring our campus to life and highlight what truly sets us apart: strong academics, meaningful relationships, a vibrant student life, and a culture where every student is known, challenged and supported.

    The evening kicks off with an opening assembly featuring our Pep Band and the unmatched school spirit of the Dawg Pound. From there, prospective students are paired with student ambassadors and guided through an interactive, hands-on tour of campus experiences tailored to student interests. Sixth through eighth graders will have the opportunity to step inside the art room where creativity comes to life, churn butter in history class to experience the past in a new way, compete with ND scholar bowl to feel the thrill of academic competition, discover faith life at ND and explore retreat and mission trips, see science sparked into action in Chemistry, connect with our coaches about athletics and team culture, and so much more!

    While students explore, parents will take part in a live Q&A panel with faculty and administrators, covering academics, faith formation, student support, activities, athletics and the transition to high school.

    Designed to be flexible and personal, the Notre Dame Showcase allows families to explore at their own pace; asking questions, making connections and experiencing ND in action! Already enrolled? You’re welcome to join! This is not just a tour. This is a true Notre Dame experience!

    • Shadow Days

      A shadow visit provides you with a look at our school on a typical day. During the shadow visit, you will experience what goes on inside and outside of the classroom—and you can imagine how it might feel to attend school here. You will attend classes with a student ambassador, eat lunch in our cafeteria, interact with other students and faculty, and generally get a feel for what a “day in the life” of a Bulldog is like. Depending on the day, you could experience an all-school or class Mass, an all-school assembly, or another activity or event happening in the school. We welcome your full participation in any and all of these activities!

      Your Shadow Day begins at 8:00 a.m. and concludes at the end of our second lunch period (on a regular schedule). We look forward to welcoming you to our campus and showing you all that our high school has to offer!

    • 8th Grade Day

      Notre Dame Regional High School welcomes Bishop Edward Rice and area Catholic 4th-8th grades to attend the Bishop's Mass each fall. Following Mass, we invite all 8th grade students to participate in Notre Dame’s 8th Grade Day—an afternoon designed to give future Bulldogs a true taste of high school life at ND. Students will enjoy icebreaker games led by current Notre Dame students, lunch in the cafeteria, and the excitement of an all school pep assembly.

      Even if your child attends a non-Catholic school, or if your school is not attending the Bishop’s Mass, you and your 8th grader are encouraged to join us for this special event. Notre Dame 8th Grade Day is the perfect opportunity to experience our welcoming community and vibrant school spirit.
