Notre Dame Prep has announced that Brie Dragonetti, the current assistant principal of student services, will now lead the school as principal.

She will immediately take over the day-to-day operations of Notre Dame Prep, located at 9701 E Bell Road from Jill Platt who is currently performing two roles as both school president and principal. Platt, who is starting her 7th year as the school’s top administrator, will continue serving as president.

Dragonetti began her tenure at Notre Dame Prep in 2008 as a student teacher and coach. In 2013, she left to earn a master’s of arts degree in Education Administration. She returned to NDP in 2016 as a faculty member before becoming the Dean of Women. In 2019, she earned her M.Ed. and was promoted to her current position of assistant principal of student services.

“She was the primary person in charge of all COVID protocols and led our school through that exceedingly difficult and complicated time in history,” Platt said in a press release. “She is extremely organized and qualified to take on this new challenge. Plus, the fact that she knows our students and school culture is a major plus.”

An alumna of St. John Bosco Catholic School and Xavier College Prep in Phoenix, Dragonetti is committed to providing classic Catholic education and college preparedness for the students at Notre Dame Prep. She recently served on the school’s strategic planning committee and is well-versed in the goals and objectives the committee set forth for the next five years.

“I’m very humbled and honored by the diocese’s confidence in me to serve as NDP’s principal,” Dragonetti said in a press release. “I love this community and care very deeply for the success of our faculty and students, both academically and spiritually.”

Dragonetti is married and she and her husband have two young sons, both of whom look forward to being Notre Dame Prep Saints one day.
