The Athol Murray College of Notre Dame is an independent, co-educational, boarding high school for students in Grades 9-12; Grade 8 is offered through the International Language Academy - an intensive ESL program. Notre Dame Hounds are known internationally for their achievements (athletics, academics, and spiritual) with 90% of graduates pursuing post-secondary education - many with scholarships. In 2007 alone, ND Hounds were awarded more than $1.4 million in athletic and academic scholarships to United States and Canadian universities. Located in the Village of Wilcox, Saskatchewan, the College campus boasts 2 fully equipped science labs; 3 computer labs; a library resource centre; an indoor Olympic-sized ice ring; gymnasium; a state-of-the-art traning and sports therapy centre; an in-house Frappier Acceleration program; various sports fields; music; chorla, art and drama facilities; 5 residential complexes; an Archives/Museum, cafeteria and camput store. St. Augustine's church is situated at the heart of the campus, serving students, staff and the community. Each ND student in grade 9-12 is required to do 10 hours of Works of Mercy for their Christian Ethics class. There is also the Hounds for Humanity (H4H) which is a volunteer student outreach group whose mission is to go "above and beyond" the required Works of Mercy. The "H4H" students do not have political aims and simply try to assist human beings who are suffering and are in need of some help. They volunteer to do the little extras such as Operation Christmas Child, Christmas hampers, raise funds to support ND's foster child, African Children's Sports Program.
