100 Years of Notre Dame Tradition

As part of our Centennial celebration, this month we’re highlighting one of the cornerstones of Notre Dame Regional High School—our traditions. From senior pins first given in 1929, to spirited pep rallies, Homecoming festivities, Activity Week, and the legendary Dawg Pound cheers, these moments have connected generations of Bulldogs.

Our history is filled with faith, fun and community—reminders that once you’re part of ND, you’re part of something bigger.
