Amanda Strudwick
Little did I know as a teenager the deep-rooted values the School Sisters of Notre Dame instilled would give me a solid foundation for my adult life not only as a professional, but also as a mother, grandmother and friend. I believe the same is true of my children and grandson that also attended QND as I watch their lives unfold. Thank you QND for your commitment to our community!
QND is a family where the students are able to connect one on one with the teachers and the whole student body.
