The Mater Dei Wrestling Team puts a lot of time and effort into training for matches. “I practice every day,” Gomez said. “We train for three hours and then [a] two hour lift.”](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/wrestling.jpg)
![SETTING THE STANDARD: Mater Dei High School and Playfly Sports announced its historic media partnership in the spring of 2025. As Mater Dei Athletics continues to achieve new heights, Playfly will introduce new partnerships and sponsors for these programs. With the added revenue and resources, Mater Dei can improve the high school experience for all students, while engaging the community in a showcase of Monarch pride. “[This partnership is designed] to increase the experience that our athletes and our non-student athletes have with the [athletic] programs,” Melvin said. “School spirit, engagement, and pride are all things we [keep in mind].” Photo taken by Kenzington Ragge.](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_0237.jpeg)
![FAITH THROUGH GENERATIONS Lenore O’Hara ‘53 (right) and Director of Discipline and Attendance Timothy O’Hara ‘78 (left) open the 75th Anniversary Mass in the Grotto. The attendance of alumni, faculty, students, and parents highlighted the connection within the school community. Vice President of School Relations Scott Melvin reflected that this was one of his most memorable moments he has had so far. “At the beginning in our opening Mass, watching Lenore O'Hara go up on stage, speak, and open our Mass, that was really beautiful,” Melvin said. “Although [Mater Dei has] changed tremendously over the years, elements that happened back in 1950 are still present today. And we are still fulfilling the mission of Catholic education and building servant leaders with our students.” Photo courtesy of Mater Dei High School.](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_3323-1200x808.jpeg)

Trashketball, Petro’s newly created game, reinstates crucial science concepts and terminology while allowing students to study recently learned material. Whether in the classroom or on the lacrosse field, Petro ensures that his student-athletes absorb the information using unique study methods. “For school, I try [to have] a general sense of what works for everyone in the classroom [studying wise]. I want everyone to know the [importance of what we are doing in biology],” Petro said.](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/HEIF-Image-1200x800.jpeg)
![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.
