St. Joseph Notre Dame High School, high school in California, United States
St. Joseph Notre Dame High School is a high school situated in a residential neighborhood of Alameda with brick buildings and large windows that let in natural light. The campus is small but includes a gymnasium, auditorium, and outdoor spaces with lawns and benches where students gather during breaks.
The school was founded in 1881 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur as an academy for girls from grades one through twelve. Over time, it grew and became coeducational, and in 1960 it was rebuilt with modern facilities including a gymnasium to better serve its expanding student body.
The school's name reflects its Catholic heritage and connection to the saints it honors. Throughout the year, students gather for performances, fairs, and community events that bring together families and neighbors, creating a shared sense of belonging within both the school and the wider Alameda community.
The school is located in Alameda's residential area and is easily accessible on foot, by bike, or using public transportation, as there are bus routes and parking options nearby. Prospective visitors can schedule a campus tour to see the school and meet teachers and students.
The school is especially known for its basketball program, which has won multiple championships over the years despite being a smaller school. Jason Kidd, a former NBA star and coach, is an alumnus along with many other successful graduates who have pursued careers in sports, film, and other fields.
