Portrait of a Graduate

At Notre Dame, we embark on an extraordinary collective journey to shape not just educated minds but, more profoundly, compassionate hearts and noble spirits. As we forge the path towards a distinctive Portrait of a Graduate, Live in Christ, Pursue Excellence, Seek Wisdom, Strive for Greatness, and Lead with Love are not mere benchmarks, but the guiding stars that illuminate the unique journey of each student.

Acknowledging that this portrait – before and after graduation – is a perpetual work in progress, we embrace the inherent uniqueness of every student’s journey. It is through daily practices, challenges, and triumphs that these traits are honed, developed, and embodied.

As we aspire to cultivate these virtues, in ourselves and our students, we breathe life into our school’s mission – a mission to nurture young men and women in character, faith, and intellect. We strive to be architects of a transformative education, where each graduate emerges not only academically enriched but, more importantly, equipped with a heart aflame with love, a spirit reaching for greatness, and a steadfast commitment to a life lived in Christ.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR GRADUATES' EXPERIENCES AFTER NOTRE DAME AS THEY:
