Voices of Notre Dame

Joan Sammartino Turner '77

"There's no choice but to be a leader here. And students thrive with it - they take it and run. Nobody is going to tell a Notre Dame girl not to speak up for what she believes in, and I think we give them that strength. No one can take that away from us ... all of our experiences from being a student here will always be with us, and I think it lasts forever."

Ellie Pinto '23

"Some things that have been really special for me at Notre Dame, especially as a transfer, are the school spirit and traditions. Being on Student Council has allowed me to be a part of cultivating that environment and has made Notre Dame feel like more of a home to me. I think our proudest accomplishment is raising more than $3,600 for breastcancer.org during our annual Denim Day fundraiser. The amount of participation and enthusiasm that surround that fundraiser are amazing to be a part of."

Stacy Kim, Middle School Counselor

ND Cares

Middle School is an essential time for the development of studentship skills and personal development. In order to provide the highest quality of care, Notre Dame has a dedicated Middle School Counselor that supports students during these three years - grades 6, 7, and 8. The Middle School Counselor builds relationships through one-on-one sessions, counseling seminar class, and group interventions.

Eleinna founded the Latin Student Union at ND

"Being in a community with other Latin students gave me the opportunity to learn about different cultures within the Latin community. I wanted to have a platform where we could all meet, share experiences and also open the Latin culture to the Notre Dame community."
