President's Welcome

Dear Notre Dame Family,

This note will be short given the brief amount of time in the position of President at Notre Dame High School.

It is an honor to be following the path of Rev. Michael DeLaney, CSC. His legacy here at Notre Dame High School has been extraordinary, and we shall move forward to maintain and enhance the accomplishments made during his tenure.

Many of you may not know this, but I began my priesthood as a teacher. That role eventually branched into other missions. However, throughout the years, I have always maintained the importance of obtaining an education. It is the core of success in a person's life.

With blessings from Our Lady, we will guide our student body by enlightening their minds and enhancing their spirits so that when they walk out the doors into the world upon graduation, they will possess the qualities for success in the path of their choice with a full appreciation of not only what they have received and achieved at Notre Dame High School, but also what they may return to the community and society as a whole.

Although we will continue tried and true traditions, it is imperative that we work together to improve our programs in order to make Notre Dame High School the best that it can be...and in my opinion, it can be superior. That goal belongs to us all.

My graditude goes out to the directors, the faculty, the alumni, the staff, the friends, the students and their families for your warm welcome. Please keep me in your prayers as I shall keep you in mine.

Through Our Lady, Notre Dame,

Rev. John P. Smyth, President
