The Student House Leadership Council serves as the representative voice and the driving force behind our Notre Dame House System. Composed of elected leaders from each House, the Council bridges the gap between the student body and administration, ensuring that every student has a hand in shaping our school’s culture and traditions.

The Council’s work is focused on three strategic goals:

• Cultivating House Identity: Planning high-energy House meetings, pep rallies, and "House Sorts" that turn a group of students into a lifelong brotherhood or sisterhood.
• Managing the Cup Competition: Overseeing the tally of House points earned through academics, athletics, and acts of service, culminating in the awarding of the Juggler Cup at the end of the year.‍
• Mentorship & Connection: Serving as House Presidents who welcome new students, mediate conflicts, and ensure that no student feels lost within the larger school community.

• Scholarship: A commitment to academic integrity and a lifelong passion for learning.
• Service: A dedication to volunteering time and talents to help others without compensation.

We welcome all voices, focusing on vocal technique, sight-reading, and harmonic blending in a supportive environment. "To sing is to pray twice." — St. Augustine

Our Campus Ministry program is the heartbeat of spiritual life at Notre Dame, providing a welcoming space where students can explore their faith, discover their purpose, and build a lasting relationship with God.

• Sacramental Life: Regular school-wide Masses, Reconciliation services, and daily prayer that ground our academic day in the presence of Christ.
• Retreats & Reflection: Grade-level retreats that allow students to step away from the noise of teenage life to reconnect with themselves, their peers, and their Creator.
