"As human beings, we are surrounded by an environment that is always changing. We are faced with challenges around every corner, and we are called to adapt to the situations that life throws at us. In the past year alone, so much has changed not only for us, but for the entire world. I’m sure that many of you didn’t think we would be gathered here, and yet, things have changed enough for the better that I am able to speak to all of you on this stage..."

"Notre Dame has given me very valuable lessons. Ones that extend beyond the classroom. I was a shy kid and I still am; however, the lessons taught here have helped me to strive to reach out to others. And as a result I made friends with those who I now and will continue to consider my family. Because the memories we made together are ones that I hold close to my heart."
Ethan Garcia
"As we continue to grow in our newfound independence and adulthood, we must not forget what NDHS and our families have taught us. Blessed Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger, the foundress of the School Sisters of Notre Dame said this about growth: “All the works of God proceed slowly and in pain; but then, their roots are the sturdier and their flowers the lovelier.” And so while our very last high school semester is not what we envisioned or had hoped for, I believe that this experience has made us step back and focus on what is important, making us stronger and even more determined to take each day and live them with purpose."
Danielle Lee
"I have never met teachers as passionate as Notre Dame’s and I’m sure my class can agree that these teachers went beyond academics in caring for us. They mentally and spiritually raised us, continuously assuring us that we can depend on them for issues outside of academics at any point of our lives."
Avianna San Nicolas
"On those days your failures will nearly prevent you from moving along with your dreams, but I challenge you all to have courage every day of your life, to persevere in all you do despite any doubts that may fill your mind, remembering this very quote from our Foundress Blessed Theresa Gerhardinger, “All the works of God proceed slowly and in pain but then, their roots are the sturdier and their flowering the lovelier.”

"We were lucky to have started such a defining period of lives here at Notre Dame High School. When we began our journey as students, we accepted the standards and expectations that came the title of being a Royal. Whether it be as a student, athlete, or simply a friend, we strived to uphold the values that set the foundation for this school, making it unlike any other on Guam. Rigorous coursework along with a family-oriented community provided an optimal environment to learn and grow not only as a student but also as a person."
