All of the teachers are very friendly and supportive. I have never been so alive in my faith, and I have met so many friends. Mater Dei Catholic has prepared me for my future since freshman year, and I have had so much fun!

Mater Dei Catholic is a place where everyone can achieve anything. I am grateful for all the opportunities and relationships Mater Dei has fostered for me throughout my years, as I would not be the person I am today without the support I received.

Mater Dei Catholic can give families what many other schools can’t. I believe once you come to this school, you’ll find your place. While I still went through that infamously awkward freshman phase, I found it easy to transition into high school, as this school has something for everyone. It has a fantastic science program, extracurriculars, and the guarantee that you will get an amazing education.

With so many opportunities being given to me, I have been able to grow into the person and student I want to be. I was able to meet others like me - and that spoke the same language as me - allowing me to truly connect to the student body.
