Notre Dame Prep hires assistant principal

Notre Dame Preparatory High School has hired Isaac Sedillos as its new assistant principal to work side-by-side with current assistant principal Tracey Heisler and principal Brie Dragonetti.

“Our school is growing and this August we are expecting our largest student enrollment in school history with 1,010 students,” Dragonetti said in a press release. “Isaac is a proven educator with a strong Catholic faith. I know he is going to be an asset to our expanding community.”

Sedillos hails from Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he attended St. Charles Borromeo School and St. Pius X High School. He credits the impact of several teachers for leading him to a vocation in education. “I also have several family members who are school administrators so you could say that education runs in my family,” he said.

As a life-long learner Sedillos, 29, has earned two postgraduate degrees; a master’s of arts from Northern Arizona University and a master’s of education from Grand Canyon University. He is currently working on a doctoral degree at Grand Canyon University.

With eight years of teaching, coaching and peer mentoring experience, Sedillos was drawn to Notre Dame Prep because of the school’s commitment to academic excellence and its pillars of reverence, respect and responsibility.

“I wanted to be a part of this culture that educates the whole student: mind, body and soul,” Sedillos said in the release. “Notre Dame Prep consistently has great programs in place, and with the increased enrollment, my role will be to support the entire community the best way I can.”

He is a former senior sponsor, track coach, advanced placement English teacher and department chair.

Sedillos said that he is happy and blessed to join the saints family.

“They’re going to get my 150% effort!” he said in the release.

Notre Dame Prep is a Catholic diocesan college preparatory high school with a co-ed enrollment of 1,010 students. The school has earned national recognition for the caliber of its academic, arts and athletic programs.

Most recently, NDP was recognized as a 2022 Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. The school is located at 9701 E. Bell Road in Scottsdale.
