2 notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2008-09 Dear Friends,

Notre Dame has recently completed another very successful school year. Over the first seven years of existence, we have grown from a fledgling institution of 220 students to a thriving and vibrant school that enrolls 925 students. During this time, we have remained steadfast to our mission of providing a Catholic college preparatory program that excels academically, athletically, and spiritually. This past year Notre Dame remained true to this tradition of excellence.

Last spring we sent all of our graduating seniors on to higher education. Ninety-six percent went on to four-year colleges, while four percent opted for community colleges. These students were accepted to some of the finest colleges and universities across the nation and earned more than $4.8 million in scholarship aid. Athletically, we won seven team state championships, which brings our total to 19 over the past four years. Finally, and most importantly, our students performed more than 36,000 hours in the community benefitting those less fortunate.

All of the above was accomplished while still remaining true to those “Expected Schoolwide Learning Results” (ESLRs) that we hold most dear for all of our graduates:

• Reverence for our Creator, while demonstrating a Christian moral awareness and approach to the community based on the message of Jesus Christ.

• Respect for self, others, property, and the environment within which we live.

• Responsibility that goes with being a citizen. Accepting the responsibilities that come with global awareness as well as being a student at Notre Dame. Possessing an awareness and a willingness to respond to the issues and needs of local and global communities while working to master subject knowledge, using critical thinking skills, technology, and communication skills.

In conclusion, once again our students have shown themselves to be prepared to meet the challenges of the outside world. We have accomplished a great deal this past school year and with the help of our parents, friends, and benefactors we will continue to provide an outstanding educational experience for the youth of the Valley of the Sun in the future.

Sincerely,

David D. Gonsalves Principal

notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2008-09 3 Dear Friends and Families of Notre Dame Preparatory,

Notre Dame Preparatory is a community of which we can all be very proud. In the seven years that the school has been open, its growth and success are nothing short of phenomenal.

The achievements of our students are tremendous in every area, including academic, athletic, and community involvement. The vast majority of our students continue their education after leaving Notre Dame Preparatory with most of them going on to four-year colleges and universities. They have been accepted at the most prestigious institutions in the country, including Ivy League schools and military academies.

Our student-athletes are among the very best in high school sports anywhere in the country. They excel not only on the playing field, but in the classroom as well. Many have been awarded athletic scholarships and have become success stories at colleges and universities around the country.

The development of our students’ creative talents is another important aspect of the Notre Dame experience. A group of parents and teachers who are dedicated to supporting the school’s visual and performing arts programs founded the NDP Arts Angels in 2007. Artistic highlights of the 2008-2009 school year included an exhibition of NDP students’ art at the Phoenix Art Museum, 15 awards for The Seraphim school newspaper from the Arizona Interscholastic Press Association, the growth of Perspective literary magazine, and numerous performances by the NDP drama department, show choir, and jazz band, which qualified for its first state competition

Notre Dame Preparatory continues its strong commitment to community involvement as evidenced by our rigorous community service standards required of each student. Notre Dame students have donated thousands of hours over the past year serving the poor, the forgotten, and those in need.

During the 2008-2009 school year, we have made strides in improving our communication with Notre Dame Preparatory families and friends. Thanks to advisory board member Jim Zeumer we have a new and improved Web site. Jim, along with his committee, worked very hard on this project to bring you the most up-to-date information about Notre Dame Preparatory by simply clicking on our Web site. Notre Dame Preparatory also continues to e-mail each family the “Mind, Body and Soul” newsletter to keep you updated with school activities and news.

Our faculty continues to grow as our student body increases. Notre Dame Preparatory is committed to recruiting and retaining a top quality teaching staff. The teachers are held to high standards, and as evidenced by the success of our students, they are excelling at their jobs.

The Notre Dame Preparatory School Advisory Board is committed to its directive to help make the school the very best experience it can be for Notre Dame families. Under the direction of Principal David Gonsalves, the school, in a very short amount of time, has become a remarkable success story.

We continue our journey into the future with even more exciting projects to come. Much work remains to be done. But at the end of each school day Notre Dame Preparatory’s goal can be summed up very simply. We are here to teach our students Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility.

Sincerely,

Beth McDonald President, Notre Dame Preparatory School Board

notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2008-09 5 Dear Friends and Families of Notre Dame Preparatory,

I am pleased to report on behalf of the Finance Committee of Notre Dame Preparatory that despite these challenging economic times, the school continues to remain in a sound and stable financial operating condition.

For the 2008-2009 school year, Notre Dame continues to sustain itself in meeting the ongoing expenditures required for operating the school, supporting extracurricular activities, and servicing our financial obligations by servicing our debt. This included capital expenditures in excess of $400,000 as we continue to invest in our campus for items such as upgrading our fiber backbone wiring throughout campus, additional gym lockers, extension of our multipurpose sports field, six- teen additional SmartBoards and projectors for our classrooms, and memory upgrades to more than 350 computer workstations. The school also leased four mobile classrooms to meet the needs of our growing enrollment. Additionally, NDP’s five-year financial plan was updated to reflect current financial strategies and results. The Finance Committee continues to monitor it on a regular basis to ensure the school can meet its ongoing financial obligations while providing continuing investment in the school’s infrastructure, technology, teacher resources, and student extracurricular activities.

The past year’s achievements were the results of the combined efforts and work of many people. The tremendous support of our parents and other benefactors continued throughout this past year. The well-attended Taste of Excellence Gala and raffle kicked off the school year and contributed more than $20,000 to the school. The Booster Club’s Seventh Annual Golf Tournament and other fund-raising activities raised more than $75,000 to the school. The Seventh Annual Mother’s Guild Casino Night and Auction was a well-supported event and raised almost $80,000. This year’s Fashion Show, highlighting the Class of 2009, was a great event once again. The increasing needs of our growing student body continue to be supported by these various fund-raising activities.

NDP’s Administration has been proactive in addressing and planning for the current difficult economic environment. All spending will continue to be closely monitored while not sacrificing the education and extracurricular activities of our students. NDP increased the amount of in-school scholarships for families with financial need this past year and again in the current school year. The Administration continues to pursue other avenues of financial aid and is committed to doing every- thing it can to work with families encountering financial difficulties.

On a personal note, I would like to first thank John E. McMahon for all his contributions to NDP over the years. John served as chairman of the Finance Committee and member of the School Advisory Board since inception. I would also like to thank D.J. Cole and Bill O’Connor for serving on the Finance Committee this past year and look forward to working with the committee in the upcoming school year. Special thanks goes to Paul Rubsam for his continued leadership and diligence as NDP’s director of finance. We are fortunate to have talented and dedicated professionals guide us through these challenging financial times.

Sincerely,

Peter Morrow Chairman, Finance Committee

6 notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2008-09 A Legacy of Faith... Notre Dame Preparatory students actively contribute to our campus and to our community, aided by the support of many generous parents and teachers. While NDP students are required to serve our community by completing a schedule of Christian service hours, we are also blessed with many wonderful students who go above and beyond the requirements. The Class of 2008 volun- teered a total of more than 34,692 service hours during their four years at Notre Dame.

Sister Yolanda Mendoza The entire NDP student body contributes thousands of Christian service hours each year to Director of their churches and to organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, Special Olympics, and Campus Ministry the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, to name but a few. This year, Theology Department Chair Barbara Stanley and I were privileged to take 18 NDP students to Tucson during spring break for the school’s annual mission trip. Students spent several days making improvements to Capilla San Antonio, an abandoned chapel in desperate need of painting, tiling, and rebuilding. Our students learned a great deal about the goodness of people and they can all be very proud of the time and effort they put into this project.

notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2008-09 17 A Legacy of Support... Dear Friends of Notre Dame Preparatory,

On behalf of the students and faculty, I want to thank you for your generous support in the 2008-2009 school year. It was the most challenging of economic times, and even through last year’s downturn, Notre Dame families and friends rallied to support the school. Your support as volunteers and donors are major reasons why Notre Dame has become one of the most outstanding prep schools in the Valley in a record amount of time.

Certainly, the volunteer leaders of these important fund-raising efforts can be tremendously proud of their results. NDP is blessed with outstanding parents, friends, and a growing number Carolyn Rock of alumni who work thoughtfully and tirelessly work to make our philanthropic successes pos- Director of Development sible. Mark and Amanda Boscos’ donation of the Mercedes-Benz for the Gala was a wonderful example of parents’ generosity in action. I would like to personally thank Lora Drummond and George Krueger for their leadership of the Mothers’ Guild and Booster Club; Sally Cashman, Amy Doyle, Aimee Smith, and Tony Montgomery for chairing the “Taste of Excellence“ Gala, “Mardi Gras” Auction, “On Cloud Nine” Fashion Show, and the Booster Club Golf Tournament. They faced adverse circumstances with creative strategies and inspirational leadership.

In 2008-2009, Notre Dame’s Annual Fund came to the forefront. An annual fund is the life- blood of any school, and its importance was emphasized through the class competition. It was a tightly contested race that concluded with the freshmen and senior classes winning. Chairs Chris Mignella and Brad Zellers led the charge with co-chairs Judy and Bryon Carney and Laura and Randy Shell (freshmen), Adrienne and Larry Miller (sophomores), Lisa and Phil Gallagher (juniors), and Natalie and Tim Hyland and Martha and Bob Poage (seniors). The result of this organized effort was a 262% increase over the previous year with a grand total of $213,214 raised. This was an important milestone in Notre Dame’s history. Without their leadership, this giving record could never have been achieved.

Notre Dame was fortunate that support for the Catholic Tuition Organization was fairly steady. The school was able to provide $330,000 in funds for financial aid for our students through the state tax-credit organization. This is a critical factor in maintaining enrollment at NDP.

Please accept my personal thanks, as well, to each one of you who made a gift to NDP this year for your generosity and your loyalty. I know that you have many worthy causes and interests that merit your financial support, and your commitment to Notre Dame is inspiring. Rest assured that your gifts to this new school have a powerful impact. They are, in fact, essential, and they are deeply appreciated.

Best wishes to all of you for a successful year ahead, and thank you again for the success of the past year.

Sincerely,

Carolyn Rock Director of Development
