Notre Dame High School

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day in which 250,000 enslaved Black people in Galveston Bay, Texas learned that they were free people in 1865. We celebrate the joy, empowerment, and resilience that followed and acknowledge the continued struggles and inequities that remain. As a Holy Cross school, we are dedicated to our mission of Bringing Hope by honoring Black history and amplifying Black voices to build a more unified world.

On June 4th, we hosted our inaugural Golden Knights Reunion — and it was everything we hoped it would be!

Alumni from the classes of 1951–1975 returned for a campus tour, a fireside chat, and an afternoon filled with shared stories and cherished memories. Seeing so many happy faces walk through the arches again was truly a gift.

Whether you were able to join us in person or in spirit, this reunion was a celebration of the community that has made Notre Dame what it is across generations. Your support strengthens our mission and ensures that Notre Dame remains a place where students excel in academics, arts, and athletics.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible student ambassadors and parent volunteers whose warmth and school spirit made our alumni feel right at home 💛

The 40th Annual Golf Scholarship Tournament was a hit! With support from the ND community, over $300,000 was raised to support endowed scholarships. This wouldn't be possible without our amazing supporters like our lead sponsors Paula and Pat Donahue '73. Opportunities like these help to make Notre Dame accessible to everyone, we are so thankful for everyone who helped make this event a success. ⛳️

Our annual AANHPI Pop-Up hosted by the DEI Office and the AANHPI Parent Group was a success! Thank you to all the families who provided delicious food to share with our community. Students and Holy Cross Educators were able to try samples of different food representing a variety of cultures. Shout out to our student groups who also had activities!

Today, May 14 is the Anniversary of Father Joe Moyer’s ordination. He has been a priest for half of his life! We are so blessed to have Father Joe as a part of our community and hope for many more wonderful years with him. ✝️🎉

Last Friday, we gathered in celebration of Mary and the season of new life at our May Crowning Mass, a beautiful tradition honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary and expressing our devotion as a Holy Cross community.

Sponsored by the AANHPI community, this liturgy also invited us into deeper spiritual connection and reflection during AANHPI and Jewish Heritage Month. We are truly grateful to all who contributed to making this such a meaningful and uplifting experience.

Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our senior Campus Ministry members. Your steadfast dedication to your faith and to this community has been truly inspiring. 💐🌸

This month we celebrate and acknowledge the heritage of the AANHPI Community and Jewish Americans.

AANHPI Heritage Month honors the unique contributions and rich history of the community in the United States.

Jewish American Heritage Month celebrates the cultural heritage and expansive contributions from members of the community.

Through struggle, notable achievements, and the always growing legacies of the communities, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating and pledging to expand knowledge of our community members.

Last week, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Office in collaboration with the AANHPI, Parents of Black Knights, and Unidos parent groups each hosted senior sendoffs for our AANHPI, Black/African American, and Hispanic/Latino communities! Our chaplain, Fr. Joe, was able to give each celebration a special blessing as our seniors move on to share their talents with the world. We are so fortunate to have wonderful students, Holy Cross Educators, and families to spend this cherished time together. 🎉
