Dear Members of the Notre Dame College Prep Community,

Notre Dame College Prep has made the difficult decision to cancel the in-person portion of our 2020 Spirit Gala. As they say, "the show must go on", and so it will! We will be holding our 1st, and hopefully only, Virtual Spirit Gala!

First, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation to Tony Kozole, this year's recipient of the Spirit of Notre Dame Award. Tony is a wonderful example to all in the Notre Dame community and has dedicated five decades of his life making Notre Dame a better place! We will present Tony with his award at next spring's Gala. Please enjoy this video that we planned to show at the Gala. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of knowing Tony, you will understand why this honor has been bestowed upon him after watching. Please click here to make a donation to NDCP in honor of Tony Kozole.

 While we will not have the pleasure of each other's company the evening of April 4th, you can still participate in NDCP's LARGEST Fundraiser VIRTUALLY!

Spreading the Spirit of Notre Dame to Future Generations

 Paddle Raise for Scholarship

In celebrating Tony Kozole , we also celebrate the Core Values of a Holy Cross education. The way Tony has lived his life is a wonderful example of the core values we teach today.

Notre Dame College Prep strives to make our tuition affordable to many who would not otherwise be able to attend our school. Through our generous financial aid program, we are able to support a community rich in diversity of thought, experience and background. The result is our Dons learning to find commonalities instead of differences, and uniting to create a better world - a world full of Dons! It is our goal that their education provides them with the competence to see and the courage to act.

Our goal over the next 10 days is to fill the school's financial aid coffers. In these next several  days, the academic and moral education of many young men rely heavily on your generosity. We ask you to consider the value that Notre Dame College Prep adds to the lives of these young men and to the world. Please give, so that the dedication of Tony Kozole will spread to the next class of Dons.

Thank you, and may God bless you.

Silent Auction Pick Up 

If you are the winner of an auction item, we will make arrangements with you to receive the item you have won. For tickets, certificates and gift cards, we can arrange to mail your items to you or you can pick them up on a day to be arranged at your convenience.. Other items can be picked up at Notre Dame on a mutually agreed upon day and time. Thank you for your support!

DaPrato Rigali Studios, established in 1860 is proud to introduce a one of a kind stained glass window created by the Dutch artist, William Derix.
