Friends of Notre Dame College
We are fighting for more than just restoring a place of learning. We are committed to creating a path to success for our students, the business community, and the people of Northeast Ohio through education and partnership. It’s about a new vision for what higher education can be.
Building a Brighter Future.
Friends of Notre Dame College is committed to restoring the heart and spirit of Notre Dame College in South Euclid, Ohio. Founded in 1922 by the Sisters of Notre Dame, the College has shaped generations through service, scholarship, and community. We are working to reopen its doors and renew its mission of empowering students, especially those from under-resourced communities, to reach their potential and strengthen our shared future.
As we rebuild, we will honor the tradition that defined Notre Dame while expanding into innovative academic pathways that meet the needs of today’s world.
We believe small colleges matter. They are places where students are seen, supported, and given the opportunity to succeed. By revitalizing Notre Dame College, we seek to protect a community legacy, expand opportunity for future generations, and create a model for how mission-driven small colleges can survive and thrive.
Since the South Euclid Notre Dame campus closed it’s doors in 2024 Friends of Notre Dame College have been working to acquire the campus and, in partnership with the community, re-establish a multi-use academic institution.
We have until May 1st to secure investments and donations to win the bid for the historic campus, and we need your help to do so!
Your donations go directly towards our operations cost, and support our efforts to re-establish an academic institution that empowers students and meets the needs of the South Euclid community.
We Need Your Help!
