In addition to academic preparation, record‑keeping and accountability, the teacher, as a member of a “house” within Notre Dame Preparatory High School, serves as a mentor and campus minister to all students.

NDP provides an inclusive Catholic school environment for high school students with varying degrees of abilities and backgrounds. Teachers work in collaboration with several programs to differentiate instruction, modify curriculum and assessments as needed, and partner with parents to support all students. The teaching position is at the heart of our school for evangelization, academic rigor, and personal growth of our students.
