== '''History''' ==

In the 1950s, under the invitation of Archbishop [[William Mark Duke]], The [[Sisters of Charity]] of Halifax accepted the challenge, to help finance a highschool for the education of [[Catholic]] children in [[East Vancouver]] and [[Burnaby]], and in 1953 Notre Dame Regional Secondary opened its doors for the first time.


In 1985, a young Irish priest, Fr. Joe Cuddy, was appointed as the Archbishop's Representative for the school. He immediately realized the need for an improved facility, and he created a three-phase plan for the rebuilding of the school. Sadly, Fr. Joe Cuddy passed away, but his dream still continues.⏎
