Mater Dei High School was a big deal in my family. My parents went there along with my aunts and uncles as well as my siblings. My children will go there too! I enjoyed it being a smaller school and never felt overwhelmed.

Mater Dei feels like a family and I am very glad that I choose to attend high school there.

The social studies and history classes are a joke, but the...
