Our story. Notre Dame Secondary School was established in 1996 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, at the invitation of the late Most Reverend Dr Avenya, Bishop of Gboko Diocese. The school opened in September 1996 with Sister Margaret (Peg) Malone as its pioneer principal. It began as a day school and, over the years, grew into a boarding school. Several of our former students have returned to teach here, a sign of the bond our community builds.
Vision. To form young people who live out goodness, truth and beauty in their families, their work and their communities.
Mission. To provide quality training in academics and morals, in the tradition of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, so that every student reaches their full potential.
