NDA Activities & Clubs
By taking healthy risks and trying new things, we believe that students become the best versions of themselves. At Notre Dame Academy, students are encouraged to find their passion and and get involved in high school. While many of our students participate in more than one team, club or activity, students are highly encouraged to join at least one club or activity each school year.
Scroll down the page to find a full list of all Clubs & Organizations offered at NDA.
