For generations, Notre Dame Schools has been more than just a school — it has been a family, a tradition, and a foundation of faith, education, and community for thousands of students and alumni.

From lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories to the values instilled within our classrooms, Notre Dame has shaped lives for decades. Now, we have the opportunity to ensure that same experience continues for future generations.

Through our “Building on Faith” Campaign, we are working to expand and renovate our elementary school to better serve our growing student body and provide the safe, modern learning environment our students deserve. With enrollment continuing to grow and our current building dating back to 1916, this project is not simply about constructing new spaces — it is about investing in the future of Catholic education in our community.

We were incredibly blessed at the beginning of this campaign to receive a $5 million anonymous matching gift, meaning every donation made will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Just a few weeks ago, we were also blessed with an additional $1 million anonymous donation — an incredible reminder of the belief and support our community has for the future of Notre Dame Schools.

This Alumni Battle of the Decades is a chance for graduates from every era to come together, reconnect, and make a lasting impact. Whether you graduated in the 1950s or the 2020s, every gift — large or small — helps move this project forward.

Now it’s time to see which class will rise to the top.
