![LOOKING BACK AND LOOKING FORWARD As seniors prepare to don their caps and gowns, many reflect on their high school experience with a sense of pride. While four years may sound short, these years represent a great amount of growth and change within each and every student. Senior Sophia Tordera offers advice to future seniors looking to make the most of their final year. “Enjoy your last year and if you haven't done any of the school activities or been to any of the events, you should definitely go,” Tordera said.

![SIGNING THE WAY American Sign Language Teacher Jennifer Battaglia interacts with her class as they work on their assignments. Battaglia was named a finalist for the Teacher of the Year Award in 2023, an honor that encouraged her to keep up the hard work and model important teaching values for her students. She aims to improve her students’ understanding of not just the language, but the experiences of those in the deaf community. “[Receiving this award] was very humbling,” Battaglia said. “You don't go into teaching for the recognition. It means that what we do in the classroom was and is being recognized. So I think it's important for us to keep doing what we've been doing. It's nice to be recognized for how hard we're working in the classroom.” Photo courtesy of Mater Dei High School.](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/HEIF-Image-6-1200x789.jpeg)
![FIGHTING THROUGH STORMS Coach Johnny Rodriguez cheers on his players as they ace their attacking skills during an after-school practice. Despite the cold rain, Rodriguez remains on the field as his players’ biggest supporter and source of positivity, leaving a lasting impact on them. “Coach Rodriguez has changed my perspective in life, [making it] more positive,” O’Hara said. “[He reminds me that] there's always something good to do, and I want to put that to my lifestyle.”](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_2611-1200x800.jpeg)
![OPENING DOORS TO BRIGHT FUTURES Director of Admissions, Jennifer Hornbuckle, poses for a photo as she plans the New Student and Parent Welcome Night. This event allows these families the opportunity to meet the Mater Dei coaches, department heads, academic counselors, and other crucial faculty members. Since starting high school can be overwhelming for most new families, the Admissions Department organizes events to welcome the incoming Monarchs and display all of the resources available to them. “It’s [crucial to] maintain those relationships with families,” Underwood said. “[We] make sure they still feel good about the school, and [we] offer our assistance with any questions they have.”
