Notre Dame Academy is the only all-girls single-gender high school for girls in Northern Kentucky.

Notre Dame Academy was first established in 1874 as a Catholic grade school with an initial class of seven students.

[2] By the 1950s, the school had outgrown its downtown Covington location and Notre Dame Academy moved to nearby Park Hills.

The U.S. Department of Education recognized Notre Dame Academy as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 1996, 2012 and 2019.

The majority of the school's students participate in one or more of 14 sports: archery, basketball, bass fishing, bowling, cheer, cross-country, golf, lacrosse (club), soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track, and volleyball.
