Seniors: College App Results and Scholarships

College Application Results

Upon receiving the results of your applications (accepted, etc.), please put the results in Naviance. Info in Naviance is strictly confidential. Putting your results in Naviance is very important because the data populates comparison charts used to measure a student's admission chances. Putting your results in Naviance will greatly help the next class of seniors when they start applying to college. Here is how:

"Colleges I'm applying to"
"Edit"
"Result"
"Save college application"

Scholarships

Now it's time to look for money (scholarships) to pay for college. Look in Naviance - there are over 100 local/national outside scholarships listed. When landing scholarships, please keep track of them. You'll have to list all your scholarships at the end of the year, so keeping track of them now is wise.

Upcoming Dates

Eucharistic Adoration - December 5

Happy New Year!

The Church starts its new liturgical year the week following the Solemnity of Christ the King. As we enter into the season of Advent we are invited to prepare for Christ's coming both in the celebration of Christmas and in anticipation of Christ's coming again.

Like the shepherds who gazed upon Jesus Christ in the manger, we too are invited to gaze upon Jesus Christ not in the manger, but in the Most Blessed Sacrament, recognizing that God is with us.

Please consider spending time in prayer with the Blessed Sacrament on Monday, December 5, in Notre Dame Academy's St. Norbert Chapel as we prepare for the coming of Christ. The chapel will be a space to pray with the Eucharist, beginning with Mass at 7:20 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

Please sign up using Doodle if you are able to commit to taking some time in silent prayer with our Lord.
