Notre Dame is a Private, Catholic School, currently serving students in grades 7-12. We were founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1955 and have been a model for Mercy in the Elmira and surrounding communities from the beginning. The Notre Dame community currently comprises a faculty of 40 and a student body of 250.
This allows for a small teacher to student ratio which allows for relationship building, accountability and student success. Notre Dame Faculty encourages each student to become an independent seeker and creator of knowledge. Each individual student must assume responsibility for gaining both knowledge and judgment, which will strengthen their faith, servitude, membership in the life of Notre Dame, and their contribution to our wider society.

On behalf of the cafeteria staff, we would like to welcome all new and returning students. Since good nutrition is so important for growing bodies and learning minds, we hope to encourage your child to take part in the breakfast and lunch programs on a regular basis. If during the school year you need to check your child's lunch balance, it can be viewed on SchoolTool.

Our child had a wonderful educational and extracurricular experience at Notre Dame High School and we have family members dating back to the class of 1959 as alumni who loved the school back then. We as parents had an equally exceptional experience with faculty, administration and staff. Highly recommended if you're looking for the perfect private middle/high school in the Elmira, NY area.
