Counselors' Office
Notre Dame Regional High School has a Counselors’ Office comprised of three nationally certified counselors. Counselors deliver a comprehensive school counseling program that promotes student success and development over three main areas: social emotional learning, academics, and career or post-secondary planning and exploration.
Each class is assigned a counselor so students have the same counselor for all four years of high school, creating a comfortable environment for students to ask for guidance. The counseling team prioritizes student wellness and mental health while maintaining an ideal student-to-counselor ratio.
