Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new crea$on. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
A changing neighborhood enhances the educa"onal
opportuni"es of the verdant ACND fourteen acre campus. Come see what is new.
In this passage, Jesus talked of change
from the old covenant to the new. While
Jesus represented what was new,
He was respectful of the law of the
prophets and the Old Testament. He did,
however, indicate that while the old ways
were the foundation, the new covenant
that He proclaimed would be one that
would alter the world forever. Indeed,
Jesus and His new covenant have truly inspired and changed
the world for the better. We are now invited to embrace the
new and transform ourselves and our school in Christ.
“Honoring Traditions and Embracing the Future"
will be Archbishop Curley Notre Dame’s theme this year.
Remaining true to our roots, we will continue to be the
school enriched with a 59 year tradition of providing:
quality academics that advance the scholars of tomorrow;
championship caliber sports teams that honor sportsmanship
and competitiveness; and a nurturing soul that offers
individualized instruction in an environment that values the
needs of others.
This year, ACND has embraced the future by: infusing iPad
technology; implementing new innovative teaching strate-
gies; and installing a cutting edge wireless network. We have
spent many years preparing for this and our current admin-
istration stands on the shoulders of those who have come
before us and helped prepare the ground work for this day.
ACND now utilizes iPads with e Textbooks and iBooks
provided to all students (grades 6 through 12) at no additional
cost other than the standard book fee. This catalyst for
learning will house the student’s handbook, planner, and
books. With a new campus-wide WiFi network, students can
now do homework, research, work on projects, or read
wherever they like. We have also extended the school day
to include an activity period from 3:15 to 3:45 p.m. This 8th
period allows teachers time for enhanced instruction, extra
help, support, and enrichment. Athletic practices run from
4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Changes can be both exciting and scary. However, despite
any anxiety, we will need to work together and “embrace the
future” and continue to do what is best for the future of both
our students and ACND.
I am excited to be the new Principal and help carryout these
changes. Please join me and the entire ACND family as we
“Honor Traditions and Embrace the Future” and, through
Christ, become a new creation!

Alum Spotlight
Le5er from Jonathan McRoy ‘01
I would like to thank the Advancement Department
for all the work they have done in pu#ng together
the online Alumni Magazines. I enjoy reading them
and staying informed on what's happening in the
ACND community. I would like to make a sugges"on
for an upcoming magazine: is there a way ACND
can reach out to their Alumni who currently serve
in the Unites States Military � Ac"ve, Guard and
Reserve components � and include these members
in the magazines?
Some examples of informa"on to solicit from
Alumni Knights who have served and are s"ll
serving would include Opera"ons that they have
deployed in support of ways that have impacted
local communi"es worldwide.
I believe that alumni, who were first taught the
profound impact of service, through the example
of the outstanding faculty and staff at ACND, are
now leading the way in society by serving their
country and preserving the freedoms that we hold
dear. And, the maintenance of these freedoms
enables ACND to con"nue the outstanding work
of educa"ng young men and women.
