[edit] History
Notre Dame was founded in 1876 by the Dominican Sisters of the St. Cecilia Community in Nashville and is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville. In 2001, the school opened a new state-of-the-art library/multimedia center wing.
[edit] Student life
As a Catholic school, the school's goal is to provide a quality, Catholic education. However, nearly a third of Notre Dame students are non-Catholic. Notre Dame students come primarily from the Chattanooga Metropolitan area, but many students commute from North Georgia, South Pittsburg, Cleveland, or other locations.
In 2005, the Irish had an undefeated regular season in football, the first such season since the 1930s. However, the team lost in the State Semifinals, to eventual state champion Livingston Academy.
In 2006, Notre Dame won the Class A/AA Volleyball State Championship 3-2 over Knoxville Catholic. The score of the final game was 16-14.
[edit] Academics
Notre Dame High School offers over 100 courses in both core subjects as well as a wide range of elective subjects. One of the more popular electives is Mr. Matthew Irvin's Advanced Science Topics which allows students to investigate further such topics as botany and Crime Scene Investigation techniques.
