The Office of Alumni Relations is part of the Advancement Office at Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy. Together, these offices are responsible for the institutional marketing of the school including, but not limited to, alumni activities and communications, class reunions, special events, public relations, fundraising, annual and planned giving, and capital and endowment campaigns.
The alumni office works closely with the Notre Dame Alumni Association Board of Directors, the NDPMA Board of Trustees, school administration, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, grandparents and friends to serve the alumni and to foster alumni support of the school in an effort to advance our mission.
All alumni are encouraged to remain connected with the alumni office at Notre Dame Preparatory. We invite you to visit the campus, stay aware of school and alumni news through reading the e-newsletter and IRISH communications, share updates of your personal life and career with the alumni office to help grow our alumni network, and to attend class reunions and other alumni events.
The primary role of Advancement is to "advance" the mission of the school. With God, we form Christian people, upright citizens and academic scholars. There are many ways that our alumni can get involved and help us in our mission. Through giving of their time, talents or treasure, alumni can continue a positive and special relationship with their alma mater and will feel proud to help our students of today and tomorrow experience a Notre Dame education.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding alumni relations at Notre Dame, we are always happy to listen.

A Note From Your New Alumni Director, Rachel (Alexander) Miller '00 (NDP)
“Welcome Home” – these are the warm words I received upon accepting the Director of Alumni Relations position at Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy. And a warm welcome home it has been! As a Class of 2000 alumna (NDP), I am thrilled to be back on campus joining Notre Dame’s office of advancement. Kelly (Cole) Patterson ’99 (NDP) has been a tremendous asset to Notre Dame and its alumni, and has laid the groundwork for building an exceptional Alumni Association. I look forward to further developing our alumni ties, and hope to meet many of you on campus or at upcoming alumni events.
As you’ll read in our e-newsletter communications and IRISH Magazine, there are great things happening at NDPMA. If you haven’t had the opportunity to reconnect with Notre Dame lately, I encourage you to come back for a visit. No matter the number of years since your graduation or the physical building of the Marist school you attended, you will be welcomed back and feel at home here. I will be happy to give you a tour, walk you down memory lane and show you recent updates. The teachers, administration and staff always enjoy seeing our alumni and hearing where life has taken you. And while our current students aspire for good grades and acceptance into the college of their choice, they view successful Notre Dame alumni as positive role models for their future.
Notre Dame’s Alumni Association offers you enjoyable opportunities to reconnect with fellow alumni and celebrate your alma mater. You might consider attending an event with some former classmates, dropping by a monthly Board of Directors meeting, participating in the annual fund or volunteering your time and talents to help the school. Whenever we see you, we will thank you for your friendship and welcome you home. After all, they say that home is where the heart is… and our hearts forever love thee Notre Dame.
Irish blessings,
Rachel (Alexander) Miller ’00 (NDP)
