Athletics

Dedication.  Perseverance.  Time Management.  Team Work.

These characteristics describe an MND scholar-athlete.  It’s because our students embody these traits that MND’s Division I athletic program has made it into the history books!  We are well-known for our phenomenal volleyball and basketball programs, but that’s just the beginning of the story.  MND’s field hockey, soccer, golf, softball, lacrosse, cross country, bowling, track, swimming  and tennis programs have emerged as leaders. 

MND’s athletic department is committed to providing our student-athletes with an experience that can’t be matched.  Our coaches are proven leaders in their sport and possess the talent to motivate and nurture MND’s athletes to perform to their maximum potential.  Mount Notre Dame has been a force to beat over the last 15 years – 12 State Team Championships, 5 Individual State Champions, 4 State runner-up titles and countless regional, district, state and league titles.

At MND, we recognize how the traits that make an athlete strong also make a student strong.   We are extremely proud of the academic achievement of our scholar-athletes.  The average(weighted) GPA for the last two seasons of an MND athlete is 4.43.    In fact, out of the five members of The Class of 2011 who received National Merit recognition, three were members of MND’s athletic program. 

It doesn’t stop here - college scouts look to MND!  In the last two years, 35 Cougars have gone on to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level.  Northwestern, Georgetown, Vanderbilt and The Citadel are just a few of the schools that have Cougars wearing their colors.  Many MND coaches have also been tapped to coach college-level teams.

MND has a more than 150-year history of success – maybe you’ll be our next star!  Go Cougars!
