Notre Dame School of Milwaukee, a Catholic school sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, challenges our students to reach their full potential as individuals, empowering them to direct their God‑given gifts toward transforming their community.

The Catholic school teacher respects Catholic values and aids students in Christian formation by exemplifying Catholic living, both in and out of the classroom. Because Catholic schools educate their students to promote the kingdom of God, it is important that all teachers are role models for students, exemplifying Catholic teachings and values in their lives and in their actions.

The teacher is accountable to the principal and assistant principal to provide education to the grades and/or subjects assigned, to implement the Notre Dame School mission and philosophy, to follow the policies of Notre Dame School, and adhere to the directives set by Notre Dame School administration.
