Director of Marketing and Communications - Notre Dame Academy Schools, Los Angeles, CA
With a proud tradition of providing Catholic education since 1949, the Notre Dame Academy Schools of Los Angeles story reflects many throughout the country. Tracing modest beginnings in response to the vision of Reverend Mother Mary Cecilia and call to Sister Mary Bernard to “go out to California and build a house of love,” Notre Dame Academy Schools of Los Angeles first opened with the elementary school in 1949 and the high school the following year. In the fall of 2005, the school adopted the President/Principal model and established a Board of Trustees and a Board of Members, the latter comprised of Sisters of Notre Dame.
Since 2008, the elementary school and the high school have maintained their separate identities but share one President and a single Board of Trustees. In 2012, a corporate restructure was completed, merging the corporations of the two schools into one corporation, Notre Dame Academy Schools of Los Angeles, and establishing a separate foundation. The schools share the same modern and well-maintained campus. The Sisters of Notre Dame retain reserved powers as the member of the corporation but delegate the majority of the governance to the 20-member Board of Directors.
The TK-8th grade elementary school serves over 275 young men and woman. The all-girls high school provides a distinctive and sought-after college prep opportunity for over 250 young women in grades 9-12. Students from a wide geographic region call Notre Dame Academy Schools home, arriving from approximately 75 zip codes in the greater Los Angeles area. The school’s student body is enhanced and enriched by its ethnic, cultural and socio-economic diversity: 8% African American, 12% Asian, 30% Hispanic, 36% white, and 14% multiethnic. While 75% of students identify themselves as Catholic, the school is welcoming to all faiths.
Notre Dame Academy Schools of Los Angeles is fully accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Western Catholic Education Association and holds membership in the National Catholic Education Association. In 1992 and again in 1996, the United States Department of Education named Notre Dame Academy a Nationally Recognized School of Excellence, a blue-ribbon school.
