![BUILDING THE FUTURE: Plans to build tennis courts and a new Performing Arts Center will be started and completed in the coming years. This will benefit students and athletes alike as they will enhance both the Athletic and Performing Arts Departments and bring much-needed venues and state-of-the-art spaces to campus. “You want to be rooted in that tradition of the school when [it comes to] these projects, we’ve always got to be innovating and moving forward,” Vice President of School Relations Scott Melvin said.

![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 ‘54 (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)
![NEW AND IMPROVED The projected look of the new Performing Arts Center as envisioned by the Performing Arts Department. This new building, which is going to replace the current Little Theatre and Pavillon, is set to engulf a large portion of the Bristol tent area as well. “It's taking up the Bristol Lot, actually,” Melvin said. “[In] the back, […] there will be eight parking spots. And then [there will] be trees, [along with] parking for the band truck and Mater Dei Television. There's gonna be all these other trees that are in this beautiful little atrium area for guests. It's a plaza, and then the bookstore is going to be right [next to it] as well.” | Courtesy of Scott Melvin](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/B14395DB-9238-4774-AF53-BA2F586AF7D1-900x506.jpeg)
