Notre Dame Junior Senior High School (NDJSHS) is a co-ed Catholic high school in Utica, New York. It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse.
Notre Dame was established in 1959 by the Xaverian Brothers. The land that the school was built on was the former location of a military hospital. Initially, the school owned the land currently occupied by the Utica Business Park, but sold most of it to the city, creating its current boundaries. Originally just a high school, in 1994 both local Catholic junior high schools merged with Notre Dame and moved to the high school building.
The school hosts a Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit.
