As a student at Notre Dame, I feel that I am being properly prepared for college and what I will face in the world. For example, the Freshman Seminar class (which is not offered at many other schools) has taught me very important study skills and life skills that I can already implement and help me in my life. However, I do feel that the Spanish program could be better, I don't think it is as great as some of the other schools in the area.

I absolutely love it. There are so many clubs, sports, and activities around campus all the time. One of the things if always found interesting is the opportunity to start your own club/ sport if it is not available. There is a new friend everywhere you turn and the different people never cease to amaze me. Every morning I walk in campus, I feel happy, safe, and blessed to be part of the Notre Dame community.

Good education, and excellent teachers. Many clubs and sports options. However, the food is not good and as a parent, you'll need to work closely with administrators to make sure your children receive everything they deserve.

NDHS may have been a respected college prep high school in this valley. Many changes in administration and faculty over the past few years have ended that. I would not enroll my daughter there today. I was very disappointed with the education my daughter received she was not prepared for the transit...
