Saint Joseph Notre Dame is located in the beautiful, tree-lined residential area of Alameda. The high school shares a campus and facilities with St. Joseph Elementary School and the St. Joseph Basilica. The school occupies four primary buildings that span two blocks at the intersection of San Jose and Chestnut Streets.
In the summer of 2010, the school embarked on the Smart Classrooms project to modernize the classrooms surrounding the Quad and to refurbish Notre Dame Hall, making it a true 21st century college prep environment for our students. The classrooms were transformed into completely modern wireless learning environments that benefit the way students learn and interact at SJND.
The Smart Classrooms project comes on the heels of the opening in 2007 of the Anthony V. Aiello Science Center, with college-level labs and top scientific equipment. It was completed as a result of the "Let Every Student Soar" Capital Campaign. This effort, endorsed by the parish of St. Joseph, was to improve the music, library, science and gymnasium facilities to enhance the school's programs in music, science and athletics.
The music center and library were completed in 2004. The music center is a wonderful instructional area that complements the award-winning music program, while the expanded library provides print and technology resources for teachers and students.
. The Kelly Gymnasium is used for athletics and multipurpose uses such as graduation, assemblies and social gatherings. The Science Center is the site of the Diocesan Science Fair, hosted by SJND, and is a state-of-the-art facility that raises the science programs to a higher plateau.
A second phase of the Smart Classrooms Capital Campaign will focus on renovating the remaining classrooms in Marianist Hall.
