President of Mater Dei Catholic

Rev. Joaquin Martinez, SJ

President

Mater Dei Catholic High School has received the reputation as “The Place to Be!” We offer academic excellence in a nurturing, faith-filled environment, and strive to meet students’ individual learning needs by creating opportunities where each student can excel and find their passions. Our holistic approach to education includes outstanding programs in the arts, athletics, and co-curricular activities. Our teachers challenge students to engage fully in a curriculum that prepares them with the knowledge, skills, and integrity to meet the challenges of a changing global society.

The Catholic Church has a long history of social justice, and we inspire our students to continue this tradition. Our graduation requirements call for each student to perform 25 service hours each year they attend MDCHS. Throughout high school, they will learn the many needs of local, national and global communities. They will become prepared to live a life advocating for people in need and learn to work to protect human dignity.

Students who make Mater Dei their home experience outstanding academic and social opportunities to cultivate lifelong friendships. We welcome you to become a part of our Crusader family!

At Mater Dei, we constantly strive to meet the challenges of the 21st century through new strategies, new pedagogies and reinforcing our mission so that we can continue to provide the very best faith-filled education for our students. Our school utilizes the President/Principal leadership model.  As Principal, I have the distinct role in the leading and closely working with our students, parents and faculty in the day-to-day operations.  It is our goal and responsibility to create a successful and challenging environment which provides excellent programs and opportunities for our students.

As always, thank you for giving Mater Dei Catholic the opportunity to help you with your son or daughters development educationally, spiritually, athletically and socially.

At Mater Dei Catholic, education goes beyond academics. Our dedicated faculty and staff work tirelessly to inspire our students, uplift their confidence, and showcase their unique talents. It’s a blessing to witness the incredible passion and drive that exudes from our student body as we help each child discover what they love—whether in athletics, the arts, service, or other exciting opportunities.

Innovation in our community isn’t just about technology; it’s about responding to the evolving needs of our students and families. Our rich traditions and values create a vibrant atmosphere that defines who we are, and our parent ambassadors are shining representatives of this spirit, demonstrating their commitment and gratitude for all the blessings we share.

Thank you for being such a vital part of the Mater Dei Catholic family. Together, let’s celebrate our blessings and create even more amazing memories in the years to come!
