OUR FOCUS
The Elite Hockey Academy strongly believes in our culture and consistency. In order to develop a more complete student-athlete, we focus our energy on individual player development and teach our players to understand how their role fits into the identity of the team’s success.
ACADEMICS IS THE GATEWAY TO HOCKEY
Notre Dame High School is a college preparatory high school known for its distinguished academic program, unwavering school pride, and profound sense of community. An honors program, AP classes, International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, and courses that count for college credit position students for acceptance at first-rate colleges and universities – and their record of success is strong. Traditionally 99% of Notre Dame graduates go on to college.
