Mount Notre Dame

Last evening, we proudly celebrated the 166th Commencement Ceremony for the Class of 2026 as they crossed the stage surrounded by the love, faith, and sisterhood that have guided their journey at Mount Notre Dame. Throughout their years at MND, these young women have grown as leaders and women of faith, leaving a lasting mark on our community.
As they begin this next chapter, we pray they always carry with them the spirit of St. Julie Billiart, living with hearts as wide as the world and using their gifts to learn, live, lead and serve. Following the powerful message shared during Baccalaureate Mass, may they always remember: “I am loved. I am called. I am sent.”
Congratulations, graduates!

Our final Province President, Bella Madden, shared her entie reflection during last evening’s Commencement Ceremony. Her message spoke to the power of the MND sisterhood, reminding her classmates that they leave not only prepared for what is ahead, but forever united through faith. Congratulaotions, Class of 2026!💙

This morning, the Class of 2026 gathered for the Bridging and Recognition Ceremony, a tradition celebrating their transition from Mount Notre Dame students to lifelong members of the MND Alumnae Association. Each senior received a special medallion from Alumnae Engagement Coordinator Lindsey Beiting-Marck, symbolizing the bond of sisterhood that will continue long beyond graduation, while being recognized for the accomplishments and memories that shaped their journey at MND.
Legacy students shared a special moment alongside their mothers, grandmothers, and sisters, honoring the generations of women connected through the Mount Notre Dame experience and the enduring strength of our sisterhood.
Tonight, the Class of 2026 will take the next step in their journey as they cross the stage at MND’s 166th Commencement Ceremony. Congratulations, graduates! 💙

Our fifth Province President, Mia Veith, reflects on how the Class of 2026 has been empowered with confidence, compassion, and faith as they prepare to begin their next chapter beyond MND. 💙

We are proud to recognize senior Avery Searls on her appointment to the United States Air Force Academy. This is a highly selective distinction that reflects Avery’s academic excellence, leadership, character, and commitment to service. Congratulations, Avery!

Our fourth Province President, Campbell Drum, reflects on holding close what matters most as classmates begin to follow different paths beyond MND, while always remaining connected through the sisterhood they share. 💙

Today, we pause in gratitude and remembrance for the brave women and men who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and selfless commitment to others remind us of the true meaning of Memorial Day.
As a community rooted in faith, compassion, and service, we honor all who made the ultimate sacrifice and pray for the families who carry their legacy forward. May we never forget those who served with courage and love for us.

Last week, students in our AP Computer Science Principles class had the opportunity to learn from guest speaker Evan Day, a Digital Hardware Engineer with Cadence Design Systems in California. Through an interactive Linux Command Line session, students explored real-world applications of computer science while gaining hands-on experience from an industry professional. Experiences like this continue to connect classroom learning to future careers and help our students see the incredible possibilities within STEM and technology. 💙

As we continue to celebrate the Class of 2026, our third Province President, Annie Arengo, reflects on the goodness that St. Julie Billiart inspires in each of us and the lasting impact of living out that spirit each day at MND. 💙

Our second Province President, Annmarie Farkas, inspires her classmates with strength, connection, and unity that make the MND sisterhood so special.
