Principal Welcome

Welcome to Notre Dame of De Pere! Whether you are a current school family or exploring the possibility of joining us, we’re so glad you’re here.

At Notre Dame of De Pere, we believe that strong partnerships between our staff, families, and parish communities of St. Francis Xavier and St. Mary are the heart of the outstanding Catholic education we offer. Together, we lay the foundation for students to grow as future leaders in faith, service, and learning.

We are proud of our tradition of academic excellence and our commitment to nurturing the whole child, academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. Our home at 137 S. Superior Street, inspired by Luke 1:37—”For nothing shall be impossible with God”—reflects our deep trust in God’s plan and our determination to build a school culture rooted in hope, innovation, and faith.

Our building was thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of each developmental stage while encouraging collaboration and creativity. From flexible learning spaces to our dedicated Prayer Room, and from strong core academics to expanding MakerSpace and STEM programs, Notre Dame of De Pere is a place where children are challenged, supported, and inspired.

As principal, I am passionate about fostering a Christ-centered environment where every child is known, valued, and loved. I invite you to walk with us, surrounding your child with wise companions, faith-filled role models, and a supportive community that lifts one another up in partnership and prayer.

We would love to welcome you for a visit. Please call (920) 337-1115 to schedule a tour and see firsthand what makes Notre Dame of De Pere such a special place to learn and grow.

With gratitude,
Mrs. Molly Mares
Principal
