Notre Dame High School offers an academic scholarship to incoming freshman students. To apply, please provide the following to the admissions office by February 7, 2020:

Essay: Mae Jemison, the first black woman to travel in space, once said, “Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.” Please explain your interpretation of this quote and why it is relevant.

Two Letters of Recommendation: One must be from a teacher and the other must be from a non-family member. These should be submitted with your essay in sealed envelopes.

Financial Aid Requests

Financial Aid is available on an individual need basis. FACTS Management provides a comprehensive service which handles all aspects of the financial aid application and verification. Because the application requires your most recent W2 and tax return, the application will be available online in January 2020. Deadline to apply is March 1, 2020.


Letters of Acceptance

The Admissions Office will mail notifications to those who have a completed application on file and have tested.

Admission of High School Transfer Students

Transfer students must complete the transfer application, obtain evaluations from current teachers, and submit a copy of their school transcript that includes third quarter grades from their current year. Final high school transcripts will be required prior to official enrollment.
