The school principal is a Sister. Although it is a Catholic school, I feel that religion and administration need to be kept separate. There is a variety of clubs, however, PND does not have clubs that are nationally recognized such as DECA or FBLA. Furthermore, PND provides little to no help with college applications. The counselors barely know the students. They do not assist you with finding activities that will look good on your college applications. If you were to reach out to them directly, they would probably help you, but they don't send out resources to the senior class. However, the majority of teachers at PND truly care about their students. They are passionate about what they teach which reflects in their material. The teachers make the pros outweigh the cons at PND.
I have been teaching here for one year. The COVID crisis was handled with great care and left me very impressed. Our reopening policies have been top-notch in terms of safety and compliance with state and local regulations. We have regular, helpful professional development, and I feel I have grown as a teacher by working alongside such caring administrators and teachers. We are 1-to-1, and I have learned a LOT of ed-tech in this position.
We have very hard-working students, who are mostly respectful and easy to handle. I am saying this as a 2nd-year teacher with little to no classroom management skills. Despite rising tuition, our business office works with students on a case-by-case basis, with many opportunities for assistance. And as a private school, we get a lot done with less $ per pupil (~$8 k vs. IL avg of $15 k)
One growth point would be faculty retention (though there is a swell in retirements and this might be the reason). I am deeply grateful to be a part of this community

Peoria Notre Dame sacrifices education for religion. If you're not wealthy, white, and heterosexual, you will be discriminated against. Some of the teachers at the school genuinely care about the students and they create safe havens within their classrooms, but they cannot protect young people from the actions of the administration and other teachers, let alone their peers. Many instructors are not qualified to teach and are abusive verbally and in some cases, physically. If you care about your child, do not send them to Peoria Notre Dame High School. The Peoria public schools are more prepared and willing to care for students and cultivate safe spaces for them to learn. If you're really worried about your high school aged child getting a Catholic education, send them to Sunday school or encourage them to join a youth group. I guarantee they will learn more about being Christ-like than they ever will at PND.
