SSND Provincial Council Visits NDHS
NOTRE DAME COMMUNITY WELCOMES CENTRAL PACIFIC PROVINCE
Students greet SSND Provincial Councilors with gifts and leis. The
School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) Provincial Council visited the
Notre Dame community on Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Sister Mary Anne
Owens, Provincial Leader, and Provincial Councilors Sister Susan Jordan
and Sister Kathryn Frank, from the Central Pacific Province,
are among the “1,150 sisters who minister primarily in 52 dioceses
located in 17 states of the U.S. and the territory of Guam, but also
serve in countries around the world." The Central Pacific Province was
recently inaugurated on June 12, 2011, when the four provinces of
Dallas, Mankato, Milwaukee, and St. Louis, “re-founded as one province
for the sake of the Mission of God.” The Council members, who recently
traveled to Japan before visiting Guam, are touring the various regions
to meet and familiarize themselves with the different SSND sponsored
institutions. During their visit to Notre Dame High School, the
Sisters were welcomed with leis and gifts from the students, and then
joined students, faculty, and staff in an Advent prayer service. Notre
Dame High School appreciates the Provincial Council’s visit to Guam as
“agents of justice, peace, and integrity of creation” in their lifelong
commitment “to education that leads to the transformation of persons and
to reconciliation in our world today.”

Spiritually Oriented and Globally Concerned
ROYALS CLEAN THEIR CLOSETS
Notre Dame High School students donated children’s books, toys,
school supplies, backpacks, and clothing to the “Clean Your Closet”
program on October 27, 2011. The “Clean Your Closet” program consists
of grade school and high school students, who work in coordination with
the Ateneo University’s Ateneo Center of Educational Development
(“AVED”) in the Philippines. According to the “Clean Your Closet”
website, the goal of the program is to provide the “basic necessities
required for a decent education” to the "countless children living in
unimaginable poverty in the Philippines.” Notre Dame
Instructor, Bianca Tanaka, and her students collected supplies this year
for “Clean Your Closet,” and also participated in last year’s “Ateneo
Toy Drive.” As part of the Expected Schoolwide Learning Results, Notre
Dame students strive to be Globally Concerned and Spiritually Oriented
individuals, dedicated to service in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
WASC/WCEA ACCREDITED
NDHS RECEIVES SIX-YEAR DUAL ACCREDITATION
Notre Dame High School, Inc. was granted a six-year accreditation term from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA). The school’s onsite visitation was held March 20-23, 2011. Notre Dame is the first Catholic school on Guam to receive the full WCEA accreditation process. According to the official WCEA website, “Early in its development WCEA joined with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (the Regional accreditation association) when it came into existence. Essentially the purpose of any Catholic high school was to teach the faith and permeate its curriculum with the values taught by the Roman Catholic Church. Eventually the Catholic high schools developed their curriculum around the colleges and universities basic requirements for entrance so that a graduating senior’s diploma would be recognized by these institutions as proof of an academic education that prepared the student for higher education.” Notre Dame High School, Inc. is a Catholic Coeducational Secondary School established by the School Sisters of Notre Dame. The school prepares students not only for college, but also for lifelong learning by empowering the whole person. The school encourages collaboration, instills leadership, promotes dedication to service, and inspires passion for justice and peace in the spirit of Jesus Christ. The NDHS Board of Directors and Administration congratulates all its faculty and staff, students, parents and guardians, and alumni on attaining the full six-year dual accreditation from 2011-2017. Registration is ongoing for this upcoming school year. Call 789-1676/1677/1717/1745 for more information.
