2025 Rebel With A Cause Celebration
Rebel with a Cause | Thursday, April 10th, 2025 | 5:30 PM
at Worcester Country Club 2 Rice Street, Worcester MA
Join us on April 10th 2025 for a fun and elegant evening celebrating women who exemplify Notre Dame Academy's values through their achievements in the Arts, Community Service, and Athletics. This event aims to secure essential funds to enhance the distinctive NDA experience and our rigorous academic curriculum. All contributions will support various programs, including the newly established Student Support Center, certificate programs in Global Studies, STEM, and the Arts, as well as over 25 co-curricular clubs, such as our newly launched "Rebels Run on Business” Club, where students gain insights into business operations and engage with alumnae and local business leaders.
As the ONLY all-girls school in Central Massachusetts, Notre Dame Academy is dedicated to educating and empowering young women to become the next generation of leaders and to achieve academic and lifelong success. With your help, we can ensure that NDA continues to provide a transformative academic experience to our students while prioritizing the values of Character, Commitment, and Community.
This event celebrates our values, which ensure that each student can take the education that, as St. Julie instilled, "Teach them what they need to know for life” and make our world a better place.
