High School Engineering Academy
Notre Dame students continue to participate in the High School Engineering Academy, now in its third year of studies, thanks to the vision and determination of the Diocese of Bridgeport. Launched in 2008, the HSEA addresses the lack of engineers in the United States, preparing students to be the most innovative and productive leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and to make meaningful, pioneering contributions to our world. Classes are held each Saturday at Notre Dame. The dedication and commitment made by these future science and technology leaders is tremendously impressive. 2010-11 Notre Dame participants include RJ Cremin '13, Charles Fallon '14, Michael Lenard '13 , Steven Meyer '13, Fernando Olivares '13, Victor Olivares '12, Webster Pierce '12, and Stefan Pietrobono '12.

Frank Carrano Memorial Scholarship
 Mark your calendars ... please join us on Saturday, February 26 at the Milford Ice Pavilion at 7:00 p.m. for the Annual Frank Carrano Charity Hockey Game. On July 25, 1999, the Notre Dame community suffered a sudden loss with the death of Frank Carrano '99. Frank's mark will be forever with us - from the image of his smiling face, to his outgoing personality and his positive outlook, to his ability and desire to enjoy life to its fullest. Frank will further be remembered for his love of hockey and lacrosse and as tri-captain of the 1998-99 State Championship Ice Hockey Team. Frank impacted so many lives and the memory of #66 will always be with us. To make a donation to the scholarship or for more information, visit our website.
