The Mater Dei Award is the highest award given to a Notre Dame Prep student. The recipients are Lily Bethay, Rachel Kuczaj, Alyse Odinet, Mitchell Curran, Nathan Schlarb and Jason Samis, pictured here with Principal Dragonetti.
On April 28, the Notre Dame Prep administration hosted its annual student awards ceremonies in the St. Catherine of Bologna Performing Arts Center.
The underclassmen were recognized at an assembly held during school hours. The seniors were acknowledged in the evening, with students, family members, faculty, and staff congratulating the highest-achieving seniors.
"These students epitomize what it means to be a Notre Dame Prep graduate by exhibiting our virtues of Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility in all they do," said NDP Principal Brie Dragonetti.
Our Jazz Ensemble provided entertainment for the two-hour-long senior ceremony.
Here is a list of all of our outstanding students. Click here to view the photo gallery of both events.
