From the desk of
Caryn Flores Durkin—Principal
Welcome to Notre Dame School! I have had the pleasure of being the principal of Notre Dame School
since 2010. I am happy to say that I have been in Catholic education for more than 40 years—there is
no other way I would rather have spent my life! I believe strongly in the mission of Catholic education—
to provide a faith-based environment in which all students are valued and respected. Our
students are ready to become responsible, faith-filled members of society who will lend a hand to
others and will be the leaders of tomorrow.
My experience here is driven on faith—my own faith in our God, my faith in our teachers and my faith
in our students. Together we create a warm, nurturing learning environment in which all students are
able to thrive.
Notre Dame School begins with Nursery students and we enroll students through eighth grade. Some
students attend Notre Dame for eleven years, while others join us later in their educational journey.
Our student body is a diverse range of cultures, beliefs and abilities. All students are a vital part of our
school family.
