Notre Dame High School (NDWH) is a private, Roman Catholic, co-educational college preparatory school located in West Haven, Connecticut, a coastal suburb of New Haven, Connecticut.
History
Notre Dame High School was founded in 1946 by the Congregation of Holy Cross, the same religious institute that established the University of Notre Dame. The school's name derives from the French Notre Dame, meaning "Our Lady". Situated on a hill, the school originally comprised several buildings, one of which is Harugari Hall (now in the possession of the neighboring University of New Haven).
Announced in 2007, the new 28,000-square-foot Arts, Technology, and Spiritual Center was officially opened for the 2012–13 academic school year. On September 16, 2012, Reverend Henry J. Mansell, Archbishop of Hartford, presided over the blessing and dedication of this addition, which houses the Saint Brother André Bessette Chapel, the Maureen and George Collins ’58 Auditorium, an enhanced Music Room (which includes practice rooms and a technology room), a new Library and Media Center, and a Technology Classroom.
In 2014, Notre Dame High School began raising funds for the "Field of Dreams" project, which aimed to create new football practice fields and renovate the outdoor track.
Shift to co-education
Notre Dame High School has been an all-boys school since 1946. On April 3, 2024, the school announced that it will shift to a co-education model and will begin enrolling girls in fall 2025. Notre Dame cited creating a "sustainable enrollment" as central to its decision to move to co-ed. According to the school, it is the 19th of 22 schools founded in the Holy Cross tradition to become co-educational.
Administration and academics
Located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford, Notre Dame is operated independently by the Congregation of Holy Cross. The school is run day-to-day on a Headmaster-Principal model. Notre Dame draws a diverse student body from across the New Haven County area and beyond. Its sister school is Sacred Heart Academy, located in Hamden, Connecticut. The teaching faculty is composed predominantly of laypeople, though there are still a handful of Brothers. Both "extended study" and "semester at college" programs are available to qualified students during their senior year.
Athletics
Known as the "Green Knights," Notre Dame High School's athletes boast a rich tradition of success with notable football, ice hockey, baseball, tennis, golf, basketball, swim, and track programs. The school also competes in wrestling, lacrosse, and most recently, crew. Notre Dame is a member of the Southern Connecticut Conference. Its gymnasium is decorated with several league and state championship banners and the names of All-State athletes.
