Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School (sometimes referred to as Dame or abbreviated to ND) is located in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and operates under the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB). The name Notre Dame, French for "Our Lady," shows the close ties the school has with the Virgin Mary and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Although not all its students share the same religion, each and every one of them live under the school's motto: "Justice, Love, Peace."
As a Catholic school, Notre Dame requires students to take several religion classes throughout their high school career. It also has its own chapel where students are welcome to pray or visit during their lunch periods and after school. The chapel and many other activities concerning the school's faith are overseen by Notre Dame's current chaplain, Genevieve Anderson. In 2012, she was awarded with the annual Brian J. Halferty Chaplaincy Award for Meritorious Service to School Chaplaincy in the Province of Ontario
All the Notre Dame teams carry the "Knights" team name. While the school has proven itself in many sports, it is best known for its football team. In 2004, the ND Knight's football team was promoted to the Peel Region's Tier 1 football league and have since won four ROPSSAA championships (2003, 2006, 2007, 2011) As a testament to this reputation, many of Notre Dame's graduates have gone on to pursue a career in professional football leagues such as the CFL and NFL. A few of these players include New York Jets linebacker Jamaal Westerman, 2011 Edmonton Eskimos All-Star and CFL Most Outstanding Canadian Jerome Messam, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive lineman Fernand Kashama
Besides football, Notre Dame has over two dozen other sports teams including volleyball, basketball, rugby, soccor, and fast pitch just to name a few. A number of these other teams have proven themselves to be just as competitive as ND's football team. In the 2011-2012 school year alone, as well as a ROPSSAA title in senior boys' football, the Knights were also able to capture a repeat title in senior girls' volleyball, and a silver medal in senior girls' basketball
