Every morning during the week of October 20, Notre Dame Preparatory School senior Taylor Foltz shared stories about the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) over the morning announcements. They told of courageous women—from as far back as 1833 to as current as 2023—who have been grounded in faith, motivated by mission, and inspired to change the world.
The stories Foltz shared were part of a week-long buildup to the 192nd SSND Foundation Day on Friday, October 24, when the NDP community joined together at liturgy to celebrate the order that founded our beloved school. This year’s SSND Foundation Day was also marked by a historic first for NDP and the SSND—the first lay leader in NDP’s 152-year history, Dr. Angela Allen, was officially installed as the tenth Head of School.
