Notre Dame High School is a coeducational, Roman Catholic, college preparatory school in the Lawrenceville section of Lawrence Township, in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. The school operates under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton. The school is accredited by AdvancED.
As of the 2013-14 school year, Notre Dame had an enrollment of 1,341 students and 82.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.2:1.
Built in 1957, Notre Dame High School is located in Lawrenceville, near Princeton University, Rider University, The College of New Jersey, The Lawrenceville School, and Hun School of Princeton. The Catholic Diocese of Trenton also neighbors the school. The main building itself is square in shape, housing classrooms on two floors. Its mascot is the "Irish", usually displayed on athletic wear as a shamrock affixed to "ND". The current president is Barry Breen, accompanied by principal Mary Elizabeth Ivins, senior vice president Maggie Kelly, vice president Donna Grabowski, assistant principals Joan D. Pilkington and Joanna Barlow, Chaplain Reverend H. Todd Carter and Director of Athletics Richard Roche.
The school uses a form of block scheduling for its students. In a typical semester, a student has three 80-minute block classes and two 40-minute blocks. One of the 40-minute periods is usually reserved for a lunch period while the other is reserved for physical education or an additional 40-minute class. There is an "activity period" between the four 80-minute blocks during the day in which students can study, take an additional lunch period or participate in various school activities (groups, clubs, community service).
