Dear Friends,

 

In the time since becoming the president of Peoria Notre Dame High School, I have come to know Peoria Notre Dame in a more personal way. The interaction that I have with the administration, faculty, staff, and students has made such a strong impression on me that I want to take a moment to share with you some of the many wonderful aspects of Peoria Notre Dame.

 

During our graduation ceremonies, the impact that our administration, faculty, and staff has on each and every student is quite evident. Our students receive honors and scholarships that reflect not only years of hard work but also a dedication toward providing opportunities for excellence. In addition, the varied list of qualified colleges and universities that our students attend after their experience at PND brings about an excitement for our students because of the new doors that will continue to open for them.

 

Attending Peoria Notre Dame High School is an opportunity for positive development. Focus on faith and discipleship is a primary part of the school’s mission. Academic excellence is inspired, a feeling of being a part of a family is fostered, individual dignity, personal responsibility, and teamwork is expected. At PND, service to others is more a way of life than a requirement and a feeling of tradition exists at PND that heavily guides the thinking of all.

 

For the many of you who sacrifice to send your children to Peoria Notre Dame, I would like to say thank you. Please know that our dedication to your children and their future is important to us. If you are exploring the possibility of sending your child to Peoria Notre Dame High School, I encourage you to make an appointment to visit our school and learn about the many benefits that our students experience. There are a great number of people in the Peoria community and communities outside of Peoria that have helped make their communities better places because of their influence. We believe that the Peoria Notre Dame experience plays a role in guiding the future success of every individual and we hope that you will choose to allow us to partner with you when it comes to interacting with your children.

 

Please keep us in your prayers as we keep you in our daily prayers.

 

Yours in Christ,

 

Monsignor William A. Watson, President
