“Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (II Cor. 9:7)
For 60 years, the Marist Fathers have been educating young people in metropolitan Detroit, beginning at Cathedral Central High School and Notre Dame High School in the early 1950s. Today, the Marists continue their devotion as high-quality educators of children in the junior kindergarten through twelfth grade at Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy. Truly, the Marist Fathers have made a difference in the lives of thousands.
We invite you to join our many parents, alumni, and friends in supporting the Marists in their current mission. The financial generosity of our alumni and friends is invaluable in positioning Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy as the school of choice in Southeast Michigan, giving young people the tools they need to become the leaders of tomorrow.
The Notre Dame Annual Fund is the major fundraising initiative for our school, now in its 18th academic year. Gifts to the Annual Fund allow us to enhance the quality of programming offered to our students in the lower, middle, and upper divisions.
