Largest class of IB Diploma Program candidates to date for the school.
Sixty-six International Baccalaureate Diploma Program candidates were celebrated last night, April 23, 2018 in a ceremony held in Notre Dame’s media center.
According to IB-DP coordinator Kim Anderson, it was a special way to recognize the hard work, dedication and talent of the seniors who are heading into the IB examination period next month and also the NDP juniors in the program who will follow in their footsteps.
It was the largest group of IB Diploma candidates Notre Dame Prep has ever had since first inaugurating the IB program in 2007.
A number of DP candidates had a chance last night to discuss their Creativity, Action, and Service (CAS) experiences and projects as well as their extended essays, which included such titles as "The Day the Presidency Stopped: How did the Pentagon Papers affect Richard Nixon’s presidency and the public perception of him?"; "An Examination of Alternative Nuclear Fuels: To what extent do alternatively fueled nuclear reactors function in a more safe, efficient, and economical way than conventional reactors?"; "The Influence of False Memory on the Reliability of Eyewitness Testimony: How have the consequences of false memory in legal proceedings affected the reliability and use of eyewitness testimony in court?"; and "Inspiration for La Sagrada Família: What are the influences that inspired and informed Antoni Gaudí’s architecture in La Sagrada Família?"
