This resolution designates July 25-27, 2025, as Notre Dame Catholic High School All-Class Reunion 2025 Weekend in Shreveport, Louisiana, while also commemorating the school's sixty-seventh anniversary. Founded in 1958 by Paul O'Brien and his wife to provide quality education for African American Catholic students, the school initially opened with 130 pupils in grades seven through nine and gradually expanded to include twelfth grade. The resolution highlights the school's rich history, including its mission "to proclaim witness and to serve" and its focus on traditional values and personal development. It recognizes the school's significant impact on its students and the broader community, noting that its alumni have excelled in various fields such as education, entrepreneurship, public service, and military service. The resolution not only celebrates the upcoming reunion but also urges Louisiana schools to encourage similar reunions and maintain traditions that honor and inspire alumni achievements. By doing so, the Louisiana House of Representatives seeks to recognize the historical and cultural significance of Notre Dame Catholic High School and the lasting contributions of its graduates.
