History

The school was opened in September 2001 as the second Catholic high school in Ajax. It was opened along with J. Clarke Richardson as a "mega school"—a Catholic high school and a public high school sharing the same building. Notre Dame was built amidst a large amount of suburban development, which contributes much of the student body. Since the opening of the school, there has been a lot of residential and commercial development in the area.

  • Brother Andre Catholic School
