PND is rooted in Catholic faith and principles, has 160 years of tradition and education experience, and has a safe and caring environment. One other stand-out aspect of PND life is the individualized attention each student receives with collaboration between faculty, staff, counselors, coaches, campus ministers, and student support services to best support the unique needs of every student. There is something for everyone with 22 teams and 40 clubs/activities.

PND students get involved in a variety of ways, especially through service in the community. Each student is required to have at least 100 hours of service by graduation senior year, and these service projects happen throughout the Greater Peoria community. Also, our students are involved in their local parish life, traveling sports, community theater, and work part-time jobs and internships!
