“Notre Dame Academy has always been a leader in academics and athletics. All our athletes have spirit and work hard whether it’s on the playing field or in the classroom to achieve their own personal best,” she says. “We are proud and humbled to earn the All Sports Award for the fifth time, an honor very few schools achieve, and are striving to keep it for a sixth year.”
