Department Highlights

Notre Dame has a wide number of computers available to our students. Our Technology Lab and Business Lab have PC desktop computers and Chromeboxes available for a variety of classes. The Media Center contains student desktop computers and Chromeboxes available before school, during lunch hours, study halls and after school. There are laptops and chromebook carts located in the Library and in classrooms where curriculum dictates the need, and students and teachers can check these out throughout the day. Notre Dame is a Google G Suite for Education School.

The Business Department also houses Family & Consumer Science (FACS) courses. The FACS Lab is equipped with six kitchens. Elective courses are offered in Foods I & II, International Foods, Housing, Life Skills and Textiles. In Life Skills classes, students are taught basic sewing and must complete one garment. The textiles class takes these lessons farther with more in depth lessons on materials and techniques. Foods classes host the “Chopped” Competition where student groups compete by preparing a three-course meal for faculty judges.
