Notre Dame College School is a Catholic high school in Welland, Ontario with classes ranging from Grade 9 to Grade 12. The school was founded by the Holy Cross Fathers, a group of Roman Catholic priests who also founded the University of Notre Dame. In the early years of the establishment, tuition was levied to students attending the school; however, the institution is now completely publicly funded. Notre Dame is currently the largest secondary school in the Niagara Region, with approximately 1300 students. All NCDSB elementary schools in the Welland and Pelham areas are considered to be feeder schools to Notre Dame.
The cheerleading team is a multiple time national champion. The varsity girls' Lacrosse team won the OFSSA Championships in 2011, going undefeated in the prestigious tournament. The school Reach for the Top team is a provincial-level competitor, and the Mathletes team is the regional champion. The school also supports a wide range of sports teams, including soccer, football, lacrosse, hockey, track and field and swimming.
