WHY MATER DEI?
On behalf of
our entire school community, we thank you for providing us with
the opportunity to share with you the many unique aspects of
Mater Dei Catholic High School. We are confident you will find
that the information on our website illustrates that our
environment continually focuses on “family.”
Faith
~
our students
not only learn their faith, but also live and share their faith
through
their experiences with service, liturgies, and retreats.
Atmosphere
~
our programs
and our policies ensure the fulfillment of our Mission – to
“[nurture] the spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional, and
social growth of young men and women [in] a caring environment
[that is] respectful of individual differences.”
Mentoring
~
our
dedicated faculty offer both academic and personal guidance,
with the assistance of our class advisors, freshman faculty
mentors, peer tutors, peer mediators, and Edline (our online
link between school and home).
Instruction
~
our
extensive, multi-level curriculum fully prepares our students
for continued academic success, as is exemplified by our ACT
scores, our number of Illinois State Scholars, and the
percentage of our students who pursue higher education after
graduation.
Leisure
~
our numerous
extracurricular programs allow our students to discover and to
share their many talents and gifts in a variety of arenas.
You
~
our
commitment to serving our students and our parents results in
our students’ ability to achieve their highest potential.
In addition
to reviewing the information provided in this portion of our
website, we encourage you to review the information provided in
the other portions as well. Moreover, we encourage you to more
closely review our Curriculum Guide (see
“Academics” – “Curriculum”)
and our Student Handbook (see “Why
Mater Dei”),
which further describe our programs and our policies. Finally,
please encourage your child to accept our invitation to shadow a
knight and experience the Mater Dei spirit – we know they will
be impressed with the Mater Dei family!
Again, we
thank you for providing us with an opportunity to share with you
the many unique aspects of Mater Dei Catholic High School.
Please feel free to contact us (618.526.7216) should you need additional

May God
continue to bless your family!
