Thank you for your interest in Notre Dame School! 

As a faculty, it fills us with joy to collaborate with you in raising Saints. It is our expectation that our students take pride in the education they receive here; that they are proud to call themselves Saints and enjoy representing Notre Dame School everywhere they go; that they love learning for the sake of learning and hunger to pursue Truth each day they step foot on campus; that they look forward to spending time with Christ in the Mass and see prayer as a necessary component of their days -- in short, that they take great pride in being a Catholic school student. 

It is my firm belief that Notre Dame graduates go out into the world displaying qualities that have become the hallmark of Catholic education: intellectually curious, internally motivated, emotionally strong, and fully faithful; excited to come to school each day for the glory of God; wanting to go forth from Notre Dame School to spread the Good News. 

Notre Dame School is a beloved place in the history of Catholic education in Santa Barbara. We are in a beautiful building in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in California. If you have found yourself browsing our site, I commend the time, attention, and investment you have put into the education of your children, and I hope to one day serve you as Principal of your student's elementary school experience. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly should you have any questions regarding our program. 

In Our Mother's protection and peace,
 

Alec Gasca
