New NDP Graduating Class Heads for College After Setting Record

On a beautiful sunny Sunday in Michigan, Notre Dame Prep's Class of 2013 received their diplomas, marking the completion of a high school career. But more importantly, it signals that these young men and women are about as fully prepared as any for the next phase of their academic careers—and for life.

To date, more than $15.5 million in college/university academic scholarships and grants have been offered to the Notre Dame Prep graduating class of 2013, which numbers 189 students. This is a record amount in total for the school and the $82,000+ per-student average exceeds the per-student average of 18 previous NDP graduating classes.

This class also tied the record ACT average of 27 earned by last year's graduating class, which is even more impressive given that there are 30 more students in this year's class.

In addition, this year's graduating class logged over 15,000 hours in community service—once again proving that besides turning out academic scholars, Notre Dame continues to graduate "Christian people and upright citizens."
