List of 6 items.

  • Open House

    Parents and sixth through eighth graders are invited to discover the Notre Dame Regional High School experience at our upcoming Open House events this November. Our Open House is the best way to see first-hand what makes Notre Dame a leader in Catholic education. Come see why generations of families have chosen Notre Dame Regional High School for academic excellence, faith formation and community. At Open House, families will:

    • Learn about our mission, philosophy, and commitment to academic excellence and faith formation.
    • Experience how we live out our Catholic values by “spreading the Gospel, one student at a time.”
    • Participate in student-led tours of the school.
    • Meet with current students, teachers, administrators, and parents to ask questions and hear personal experiences.

      Open House events have concluded for the 2025-2026 school year. Come visit us by scheduling a tour or shadow day!
    • 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!

    • Tours

      Our campus tours are designed to provide prospective students and their families with a comprehensive overview of our facilities, programs, and the overall atmosphere of our school. During the tour, you will have the chance to visit our classrooms, chapel, and other key areas of interest. Our student ambassador tour guides will lead you through our halls and answer any questions you may have, providing insight into our academic offerings, extracurricular activities and student life.

      Tours can be scheduled at your convenience depending on our daily schedule, and are not limited to only 8th graders. We invite anyone with an interest in learning more at Notre Dame to experience a tour. 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.
