We are battling St. Augustine (Saints) in more than just football next week. We will be competing with them in a recycling challenge. The school that recycles the most plastic bottles will win money for the charity of the school's choice. When we win, we will be donating to the Alpha Project, which helps the homeless population of San Diego.

Just like that, summer has come and gone and we have entered autumn. Although the weather may not feel like it yet, fall has officially arrived. Autumn continues to be my favorite season. The colors of the season, the cooler weather and the falling leaves remind us that slowly, but surely things start to fall into place.

As you know, this is a historic year for Mater Dei, as we become the first TK-12 school in the Diocese of San Diego, but it’s also a historic year for Mater Dei Juan Diego Academy in particular.

And so it is fitting that this school year our theme is “Together We Soar”, “Emprendiendo juntos el vuelo”. We are preparing our students to soar this academic school year and beyond. Our 8th graders will soon be ready to soar into high school. As a school we are ready to soar as we continue to grow as educators, empowering our students to succeed academically and inspiring ...
It is hard to believe that in just a few short days we will complete the most challenging year in the history of education. As I reflect on the last 15 months, I am in awe of what we have accomplished as a faith community. From the beginning of the pandemic, it was our goal to prioritize the safety of our community while at the same time providing an outstanding Catholic college preparatory education. I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished and truly appreciate your support along the way. I firmly believe that the challenges that we overcame this past school year have made us stronger and will help us continue to thrive for the next 60 years.
