Dear Prospective Families of Notre Dame,
 

My name is Pio Rizzo, and as the new principal of Notre Dame Catholic School, I warmly welcome you to our school community. I invite you to explore our website and visit our Facebook page, where you’ll discover the many ways our students thrive through a well-rounded, faith-based education rooted in Catholic values.

​

Notre Dame has the distinction of being the only Roman Catholic school in Hernando County. We are proud of our longstanding reputation for providing a strong academic foundation in a nurturing, Christ-centered environment. At Notre Dame, our Catholic identity is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in educating the whole child—body, mind, and spirit—while fostering a deep and lasting relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

​

Our curriculum embraces 21st-century learning, with a strong focus on academic excellence, problem-solving, the integration of technology, and meaningful, real-world learning experiences. At the same time, we remain firmly grounded in our Catholic mission, helping students grow in faith, character, and service.

​

The dedicated faculty and staff of Notre Dame Catholic School work in partnership with families and our parish community to fulfill our shared mission: to instill a strong academic foundation in a Christ-centered environment, nurturing the body, mind, and spirit for life-long service to others—and ultimately, to prepare our students for eternal life with Christ.

​

Thank you for considering Notre Dame Catholic School. We would be honored to welcome your family into our community.

 

Mr. Pio Rizzo 
Principal
