[edit] Tradition

The most notable tradition that has been held at Notre Dame since it opened in 1941 are the white dresses that are worn at the Prom. Though many senior students in the past have fought with the parent council to change, it has yet to happen. This standing tradition brings class and elegance to Notre Dame's Prom.

[edit] School song

We sing of Notre Dame, the school we cherish.
Exalt its noble spirit, it ne'er shall perish.
Raise high its duple colours, to show the glory of Notre Damian girlhood in song and story.
Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Notre Dame, our hearts are yours, Your majesty and honour our love assures.
Beloved Alma Mater, Our Lady's Bower. May she love you, bless you, keep you. E'er in her power.
