Dear Friends,
Notre Dame has recently completed another very successful school year. Over the first
seven years of existence, we have grown from a fledgling institution of 220 students to a
thriving and vibrant school that enrolls 925 students. During this time, we have remained
steadfast to our mission of providing a Catholic college preparatory program that excels
academically, athletically, and spiritually. This past year Notre Dame remained true to this
tradition of excellence.
Last spring we sent all of our graduating seniors on to higher education. Ninety-six percent
went on to four-year colleges, while four percent opted for community colleges. These
students were accepted to some of the finest colleges and universities across the nation
and earned more than $4.8 million in scholarship aid. Athletically, we won seven team state
championships, which brings our total to 19 over the past four years. Finally, and most
importantly, our students performed more than 36,000 hours in the community benefitting
those less fortunate.
All of the above was accomplished while still remaining true to those “Expected Schoolwide
Learning Results” (ESLRs) that we hold most dear for all of our graduates:
• Reverence for our Creator, while demonstrating a Christian moral awareness and approach
to the community based on the message of Jesus Christ.
• Respect for self, others, property, and the environment within which we live.
• Responsibility that goes with being a citizen. Accepting the responsibilities that come
with global awareness as well as being a student at Notre Dame. Possessing an awareness
and a willingness to respond to the issues and needs of local and global communities
while working to master subject knowledge, using critical thinking skills, technology, and
communication skills.
In conclusion, once again our students have shown themselves to be prepared to meet the
challenges of the outside world. We have accomplished a great deal this past school year
and with the help of our parents, friends, and benefactors we will continue to provide an
outstanding educational experience for the youth of the Valley of the Sun in the future.
Sincerely,
David D. Gonsalves
Principal

Dear Friends and Families of Notre Dame Preparatory,
Notre Dame Preparatory is a community of which we can all be very proud. In the seven years that
the school has been open, its growth and success are nothing short of phenomenal.
The achievements of our students are tremendous in every area, including academic, athletic, and
community involvement. The vast majority of our students continue their education after leaving
Notre Dame Preparatory with most of them going on to four-year colleges and universities. They
have been accepted at the most prestigious institutions in the country, including Ivy League schools
and military academies.
Our student-athletes are among the very best in high school sports anywhere in the country. They
excel not only on the playing field, but in the classroom as well. Many have been awarded athletic
scholarships and have become success stories at colleges and universities around the country.
The development of our students’ creative talents is another important aspect of the Notre Dame
experience. A group of parents and teachers who are dedicated to supporting the school’s visual and
performing arts programs founded the NDP Arts Angels in 2007. Artistic highlights of the 2008-2009
school year included an exhibition of NDP students’ art at the Phoenix Art Museum, 15 awards for
The Seraphim school newspaper from the Arizona Interscholastic Press Association, the growth of
Perspective literary magazine, and numerous performances by the NDP drama department, show choir,
and jazz band, which qualified for its first state competition
Notre Dame Preparatory continues its strong commitment to community involvement as evidenced
by our rigorous community service standards required of each student. Notre Dame students have
donated thousands of hours over the past year serving the poor, the forgotten, and those in need.
During the 2008-2009 school year, we have made strides in improving our communication with Notre
Dame Preparatory families and friends. Thanks to advisory board member Jim Zeumer we have a new
and improved Web site. Jim, along with his committee, worked very hard on this project to bring you
the most up-to-date information about Notre Dame Preparatory by simply clicking on our Web site.
Notre Dame Preparatory also continues to e-mail each family the “Mind, Body and Soul” newsletter
to keep you updated with school activities and news.
Our faculty continues to grow as our student body increases. Notre Dame Preparatory is committed
to recruiting and retaining a top quality teaching staff. The teachers are held to high standards, and as
evidenced by the success of our students, they are excelling at their jobs.
The Notre Dame Preparatory School Advisory Board is committed to its directive to help make the
school the very best experience it can be for Notre Dame families. Under the direction of Principal
David Gonsalves, the school, in a very short amount of time, has become a remarkable success story.
We continue our journey into the future with even more exciting projects to come. Much work
remains to be done. But at the end of each school day Notre Dame Preparatory’s goal can be summed
up very simply. We are here to teach our students Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility.
Sincerely,
Beth McDonald
President, Notre Dame Preparatory School Board

A Legacy of Success...
We continued to prove in our seventh year that our students courageously accept the challenge
to live a successful and exemplary life by striving to attain their personal best. Our students have
achieved the highest honors as evidenced by NDP’s two 2009 National Merit Scholars in addition
to those who have earned recognition as National Merit finalists, semifinalists, and commended
scholars and National Hispanic Scholars. Ten outstanding NDP students were selected to attend the
school’s annual trip to the New York Stock Exchange, which included a in-depth tour of the trading floor conducted by NYSE analysts. NDP students have achieved highest honors in the national
Word Masters Challenge and at the American Mathematics Contest. Additionally, NDP students
have been selected on the basis of their academic records and high moral character to participate in
the Phoenix Youth and Education Commission, Valley Teen Leadership, Scottsdale Mayor’s Youth
Council, and the National Forum of Defense, Intelligence, Diplomacy, and Medicine.
At the core of
our success is the
unwavering belief that

students deserve the
The Class of 2009 was awarded more than $4.4 million in college scholarships from prestigious universities nationwide. These students were accepted at the finest universities, including Stanford University,
Brown University, Northwestern University, University of Southern California, and the University of
Notre Dame. An outstanding combination of academic achievement and athleticism led to 32 members
of the Class of 2009 being awarded college athletic scholarships.

Notre Dame’s athletic programs continued to flourish with the many impressive accomplishments of
our teams and individual athletes under the direction of the school’s staff of dedicated coaches. The
outstanding 2008-2009 sports season mirrored the previous year with talented NDP athletes earning
another eight team state championship titles. The phenomenal NDP football team capped an undefeated season by winning its second consecutive state championship. The boy’s golf team won its third
state victory in five years and the girls’ golf team won its second consecutive state 4A-II title. The girls’
tennis team took the state title for the third year in a row and the girls’ soccer team captured their first
state championship. The boys’ track and field team took home the 2009 state trophy and the NDP pom
and cheer teams dominated at state with a joint Spiritline championship award and a first place award
for the five-girl stunt team. Individual state titles were won by Patrick Foley and Blair Tushaus (track and
field), Jackie Chang (girls’ tennis and golf), Nick Losole (golf), and Alexis Daswick (swimming).

Dear Friends and Families of Notre Dame Preparatory,
I am pleased to report on behalf of the Finance Committee of Notre Dame Preparatory that
despite these challenging economic times, the school continues to remain in a sound and stable
financial operating condition.
For the 2008-2009 school year, Notre Dame continues to sustain itself in meeting the ongoing
expenditures required for operating the school, supporting extracurricular activities, and servicing our financial obligations by servicing our debt. This included capital expenditures in excess of
$400,000 as we continue to invest in our campus for items such as upgrading our fiber backbone
wiring throughout campus, additional gym lockers, extension of our multipurpose sports field, sixteen additional SmartBoards and projectors for our classrooms, and memory upgrades to more than
350 computer workstations. The school also leased four mobile classrooms to meet the needs of
our growing enrollment. Additionally, NDP’s five-year financial plan was updated to reflect current
financial strategies and results. The Finance Committee continues to monitor it on a regular basis to
ensure the school can meet its ongoing financial obligations while providing continuing investment
in the school’s infrastructure, technology, teacher resources, and student extracurricular activities.
The past year’s achievements were the results of the combined efforts and work of many people.
The tremendous support of our parents and other benefactors continued throughout this past year.
The well-attended Taste of Excellence Gala and raffle kicked off the school year and contributed
more than $20,000 to the school. The Booster Club’s Seventh Annual Golf Tournament and other
fund-raising activities raised more than $75,000 to the school. The Seventh Annual Mother’s Guild
Casino Night and Auction was a well-supported event and raised almost $80,000. This year’s Fashion
Show, highlighting the Class of 2009, was a great event once again. The increasing needs of our
growing student body continue to be supported by these various fund-raising activities.
NDP’s Administration has been proactive in addressing and planning for the current difficult
economic environment. All spending will continue to be closely monitored while not sacrificing
the education and extracurricular activities of our students. NDP increased the amount of in-school
scholarships for families with financial need this past year and again in the current school year. The
Administration continues to pursue other avenues of financial aid and is committed to doing everything it can to work with families encountering financial difficulties.
On a personal note, I would like to first thank John E. McMahon for all his contributions to
NDP over the years. John served as chairman of the Finance Committee and member of the
School Advisory Board since inception. I would also like to thank D.J. Cole and Bill O’Connor for
serving on the Finance Committee this past year and look forward to working with the committee
in the upcoming school year. Special thanks goes to Paul Rubsam for his continued leadership and
diligence as NDP’s director of finance. We are fortunate to have talented and dedicated
professionals guide us through these challenging financial times.
Sincerely,
Peter Morrow
Chairman, Finance Committee

A Legacy of Faith...
Notre Dame Preparatory students actively contribute to our campus and to our community, aided
by the support of many generous parents and teachers. While NDP students are required to serve
our community by completing a schedule of Christian service hours, we are also blessed with
many wonderful students who go above and beyond the requirements. The Class of 2008 volunteered a total of more than 34,692 service hours during their four years at Notre Dame.
Sister Yolanda Mendoza
Director of
Campus Ministry
The entire NDP student body contributes thousands of Christian service hours each year to
their churches and to organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, Special Olympics, and
the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, to name but a few. This year, Theology Department Chair
Barbara Stanley and I were privileged to take 18 NDP students to Tucson during spring break
for the school’s annual mission trip. Students spent several days making improvements to
Capilla San Antonio, an abandoned chapel in desperate need of painting, tiling, and rebuilding.
Our students learned a great deal about the goodness of people and they can all be very proud
of the time and effort they put into this project.

In 2008, Fr. Michael Goodyear was assigned as chaplain to NDP by Bishop Olmsted and we
enjoyed his presence on campus three days a week. Having a priest on campus is a blessing for
our school as it is a wonderful opportunity for all to grow in their faith. This school year also
marked the debut of the Senior Legacy Club, whose purpose is to establish a legacy of service
and commitment to those most in need. The new club developed fund raising activities and
made several trips to Mexico where they worked to build new homes for the needy and distributed clothing in the barrios.

A Legacy of Strength...
George Krueger
Booster Club President
Booster Club
Board 2008-09
The 2008-2009 school year was full of accomplishments for the NDP Booster Club and the school’s
talented athletes. Notre Dame solidified its well-earned reputation as a top tier high school that attracts
students who strive to excel both on and off the playing field. The trophies and accolades spanned the
entire school year as the Saints won team championships in Football, Girls’ and Boys’ Golf, Stunt Cheer,
Pom/Cheer Spiritline, Girls’ Tennis, Girls’ Soccer, and Boys’ Track and Field. The Booster Club is proud to
have supported these outstanding teams, their coaches, and our superb athletic director, Mike Mahon. In
just a few short years, NDP has become a powerhouse to be reckoned with in the Arizona Interscholastic
Association’s 4A Division II. The club is deeply grateful for its hardworking members who provide important social and financial support to Notre Dame’s athletic programs.

to add two more festivals celebrating the school’s winter and spring sports programs. • The club
organized the first “Night of Champions” to honor the school’s 26 Scholar-Athletes, two Academic
All-Americans, individual and team state champions, and athletes going on to play college sports.

speakers the club brought to NDP.

A Legacy of Support...
2009 Gala offered “A taste of Excellence”
An autumn gala celebrating NDP’s academic, artistic, athletic, and community achievements drew more than 800 guests to campus on October 4 for an evening of fine
cuisine and friendship.
NDP Arts Angels
The NDP Arts
Angels successfully achieved its
mission to support and develop
opportunities for
NDP fine arts
students. A highlight of the year was
a monthlong showcase in April at the
Phoenix Art Museum where Notre
Dame students had the opportunity
to exhibit their paintings, drawings
and photography. The Notre Dame
Arts Angels is a new support group
comprised of parent volunteers who
take an active role in promoting the
arts at NDP. Members of the Arts
Angels bolster the school’s art,
photography, ceramics, music, dance,
and theater programs by offering
their time and experience to support
the various artistic needs and aspirations of our fine arts students and
their instructors.
Amanda and Mark Bosco
A high point of the evening
was the drawing for the grand
raffle prize of a 2009 C300
Mercedes-Benz sports sedan
from Schumacher European
Ltd. of Scottsdale, provided by
Paradise Valley residents Mark
and Amanda Bosco. The ecstatic
winners were NDP parents
Glenn and Tracy Hughes.
Culinary co-chairs Brandon Maxwell and Michael DeMaria once again assembled an impressive roster of Valley chefs who prepared tastings of their specialties for guests to enjoy.
CTODP Offers State Tax Credit and
Provides Financial Aid to NDP Students
The Development Departments extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who
contributed to the Catholic Tuition Organization of the Diocese of Phoenix (CTODP)
and enjoyed a state income tax credit while funding scholarships at NDP. Your generosity provides valuable financial assistance to deserving students at Notre Dame.
As a rapidly growing school with a diverse student body, scholarship aid continues
to be one of our greatest needs. The 2008-09 CTODP campaign raised $328,000 in
scholarship funds (a 7% decrease from the previous year). More than ever before, the
need for financial aid at NDP is still greater than the available resources.
In the coming school year, you will have several opportunities to contribute to
CTODP. Please open your hearts and minds to this important need by taking advantage of CTODP’s dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $1,000. Your gift will make a
difference in the life of a Notre Dame student.
NDP thanks all of the dedicated parent volunteers who gave so generously of their time
to make the 2008-09 CTODP campaign an unqualified success, especially Susan Casaceli,
Holly Cooper, Nancy Dougherty, Donald Evans, Sue Fischer, Laura Hicks, Marci Matt,
Margaret Shoemaker, Catherine Wetter, Clara Ponce, Carol Ann Wright, Mareencita and
Javier Ramos, Amy Rivers, Annie Stempta, Margaret Nawrocki, and Nada Zlaket.

A Legacy of Support...
Dear Friends of Notre Dame Preparatory,
On behalf of the students and faculty, I want to thank you for your generous support in the
2008-2009 school year. It was the most challenging of economic times, and even through last
year’s downturn, Notre Dame families and friends rallied to support the school. Your support
as volunteers and donors are major reasons why Notre Dame has become one of the most
outstanding prep schools in the Valley in a record amount of time.
Carolyn Rock
Director of Development
Certainly, the volunteer leaders of these important fund-raising efforts can be tremendously
proud of their results. NDP is blessed with outstanding parents, friends, and a growing number
of alumni who work thoughtfully and tirelessly work to make our philanthropic successes possible. Mark and Amanda Boscos’ donation of the Mercedes-Benz for the Gala was a wonderful
example of parents’ generosity in action. I would like to personally thank Lora Drummond and
George Krueger for their leadership of the Mothers’ Guild and Booster Club; Sally Cashman,
Amy Doyle, Aimee Smith, and Tony Montgomery for chairing the “Taste of Excellence“ Gala,
“Mardi Gras” Auction, “On Cloud Nine” Fashion Show, and the Booster Club Golf Tournament.
They faced adverse circumstances with creative strategies and inspirational leadership.
In 2008-2009, Notre Dame’s Annual Fund came to the forefront. An annual fund is the lifeblood of any school, and its importance was emphasized through the class competition. It was
a tightly contested race that concluded with the freshmen and senior classes winning. Chairs
Chris Mignella and Brad Zellers led the charge with co-chairs Judy and Bryon Carney and Laura
and Randy Shell (freshmen), Adrienne and Larry Miller (sophomores), Lisa and Phil Gallagher
(juniors), and Natalie and Tim Hyland and Martha and Bob Poage (seniors). The result of this
organized effort was a 262% increase over the previous year with a grand total of $213,214
raised. This was an important milestone in Notre Dame’s history. Without their leadership, this
giving record could never have been achieved.
Notre Dame was fortunate that support for the Catholic Tuition Organization was fairly steady.
The school was able to provide $330,000 in funds for financial aid for our students through the
state tax-credit organization. This is a critical factor in maintaining enrollment at NDP.
Please accept my personal thanks, as well, to each one of you who made a gift to NDP this
year for your generosity and your loyalty. I know that you have many worthy causes and
interests that merit your financial support, and your commitment to Notre Dame is inspiring.
Rest assured that your gifts to this new school have a powerful impact. They are, in fact,
essential, and they are deeply appreciated.
Best wishes to all of you for a successful year ahead, and thank you again for the success of the
past year.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Rock
Director of Development

A Legacy of Support...
The 2009 Annual Fund
goal was $200,000.
All private schools have an
annual fund that covers the
difference between the cost
of tuition and the real cost
of educating a student.
Notre Dame Prep is deeply
appreciative of all of the
families who donated to this
year’s fund. Donors who
contributed $1,500 or more
to the fund were invited
to attend the annual
Principal’s Dinner in May.

A Legacy of Growth...
The 201 members
of the Class of 2009
marched at a
graduation ceremony
held May 18 at
Wells Fargo Arena.
At the core of Notre Dame’s success is the unwavering belief that an excellent education
includes the spiritual, academic, moral, and social support required to prepare our students for life.
Notre Dame Preparatory has graduated to date a total of 773 students who now attend prestigious universities and colleges across the United States. As a result of their dedicated effort
and an excellent college preparatory curriculum, many of these students are enjoying the benefits
of the more than $14 million in scholarship offers that have been awarded to NDP’s first five
graduating classes. Notre Dame alumni are maintaining their ties to the school through
a variety of activities, including the Alumni Panel Discussion for the current senior class, the
annual Homecoming Rally and football game, and the Alumni Christmas Party.
The Alumni Representatives who give generously of their time to spearhead these events:
Kali Bills, Kristina Stojak, Eric TenEyck

The Endowment—$125,000
The Endowment provides additional sources of income to ensure the longevity of the school.
These funds are held and invested to generate a reliable source of income for Notre Dame.
Gifts to the Endowment are long-term investments in the school’s future. The Finance
Committee’s goal for the Endowment is to increase the corpus and to use a portion of its
earnings for financial aid for deserving students. Financial aid is one of the school’s greatest
needs after payment of the construction loan.
