After RCDS

RCDS Alumna Hannah poses smiling with her high school diploma.

"RCDS teachers encouraged us to immerse ourselves in the learning so we could understand it on a deeper level. I embrace this mindset as I enter my freshman year at Notre Dame. Many of my friends describe how hard the academic transition has been for them. For me, this step is just a continuation of my learning and 
it all started at RCDS."

– Hannah Reynolds,
RCDS Class of 2015;
 Trinity Hall Class of 2019 Salutatorian

The RCDS Advisory Program promotes personal accountability, moral courage and goal-setting, all while focusing on the personal needs and strengths of each student to prepare them for success after RCDS.
