Dear Guest,

Welcome to Mount Notre Dame High School!  Whether you are a member of the Mount Notre Dame community or a first-time visitor, this web-site offers you a comprehensive overview of our school.  As you move from page to page, you’ll see us and hear our story of which we are very proud.

Founded in 1860 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur as a boarding and day school, Mount Notre Dame is the oldest Catholic girls’ high school in the same location in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.  Ever-changing and growing, today Mount Notre Dame High School is alive with the energy and enthusiasm for learning of 750 young women who come from three foreign countries and over 40 Catholic, public, and private elementary schools.

If you are looking for a school committed to helping a young woman become the well-rounded person whom God calls her to be, Mount Notre Dame is the school for you!  Throughout Greater Cincinnati, Mount Notre Dame High School is known for its Catholic identity and unique environment, where each student is welcomed, challenged and free to be herself. 

With a student/teacher ratio of 1 to 15 and an average class size of 19, MND students receive plenty of individual attention from our 115 talented, committed and enthusiastic administrators, faculty, and staff.  Each one is committed to living MND’s mission: 

            With faith in the goodness of God, Mount Notre Dame High School:

·        empowers women to recognize, appreciate and utilize their unique capabilities and
value in society;

·        creates a challenging, nurturing and exciting environment through a variety of spiritual, academic, extra-curricular, social, leadership and service opportunities; and

·        enriches the communities it serves through effective partnerships. 

The result is an empowered, self-confident graduate, rooted in Catholic values, who is prepared to live, lead and serve in an ever-changing global society.

I invite you to visit MND’s web site often to keep updated on MND’s activities and connected with the MNDHS community.  Of course, the best way to catch the MND spirit is by an actual visit.  Our doors are always open to welcome you!

This year, our staff and students are challenged to live the theme: “Powered by the Son.”  May you experience God’s power and goodness in your life each and every day.

With warm wishes,

 Sr. Rita M. Sturwold, SND CFRE
