Notre Dame Academy hails continued excellence with new website

Park Hills, KY (March 7, 2007) 10,000 graduates, 100 years of excellence in education, and a future that is positive and in tune with the needs of today’s students and their families. This describes a stronghold in the catholic education arena - Park Hills, Kentucky based Notre Dame Academy. Northern Kentucky’s only all girls high school has just launched a new website (www.ndapandas.org) to further enhance the interactive experience and extended access to information important to students and their families in today’s around the clock atmosphere.

Redesigned by award winning TELLUS (www.tellusweb.com) of Cincinnati, Notre Dame’s new site features simple navigation, easy user interaction, new content management capabilities, and an upgraded design that reflects the quality of this prestigious educational institution. Notre Dame is preparing for its next century of service on a foundation of strong enrollment, an academic curriculum that boasts an average ACT score of 24.8 and 100% of graduates being accepted to post-secondary educational institutions (class of 2006). Staying at the forefront of the student body’s needs, Notre Dame’s new site enhances interactive communication and outreach to all of their audiences.

“Our new website is a critical link to the entire Notre Dame family - our current student body, young ladies thinking about their high school options, parents, and alumnae. Having the ability to internally manage up-to-date content was vital, along with simple and effective navigation, and a technical platform that could add new outreach vehicles like podcasts and streaming video,” explained Sr. Mary Shauna, president, Notre Dame Academy. “TELLUS helped us think through our site’s needs for today and tomorrow, ensuring wise use of our dollars and providing us internal flexibility.”

Meeting a variety of communication needs, the new website informs prospective students of the school offerings, enables existing students and their families to stay on top of curriculum offerings and calendar updates, and allows alumnae to remain connected regardless of distance.

“Notre Dame’s vision for their future and the wishes of their online users was clear, well defined and ripe with creativity. Integrating the needs of their users with the faculty and administrators’ goals provided a feature rich website with growth capabilities and internal content management key to cost-effective communication,” noted Betsy Emery, president, TELLUS.

Notre Dame Academy assures each student the opportunity of a high school experience distinguished by the seamless integration of academics, athletics, and the arts in a Catholic school program. For further information, visit www.ndapandas.org.
