Mater Dei High School

🌟✨ Last night, we had the incredible honor of celebrating the 2024 Ring of Honor Inductees at Mater Dei High School! ✨🌟

Since its debut in May 2001 during the 50th Anniversary Golden Gala, the Ring of Honor has been a cherished tradition. Congratulations to this year’s remarkable honorees! Pictured from left: Tim and Diane Cologne (Vicki Marsha Uniforms), Bishop Kevin Vann, and Jenni and Dave Taylor (Lifetime MD Parents and Dave served as MD’s VP of Business for 31 years until his retirement in 2023). Your dedication and contributions continue to inspire us all. Here’s to celebrating our past, present, and future!

Today we are blessed to honor all mothers on this Mother’s Day. We thank Mary, Mater Dei, for being the example of saying “yes”, and we thank all mothers for saying yes to motherhood. We also pray for those in our community whose mother has passed, may they rest in God’s grace.

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.”

Proverbs 31:25-27

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science we honor our students devoted to the future of science and STEM! Mater Dei is honored to watch you build a foundation that will someday change the world!

Congratulations to for an incredible performance, Illuminate. Seventeen numbers centralized around the wonderful theme, and we couldn’t be more proud of all the Dancers!
