What is the Ring of Honor?
The Mater Dei High School Ring of Honor debuted in May 2001 at the 50th Anniversary Golden Gala. The Ring of Honor aims to bring the entire Mater Dei community together to celebrate our school, give thanks and recognize people who have made Mater Dei such a great place to learn and grow. The dedication and commitment of each member of our extended Monarch family creates the traditional appeal of Mater Dei High School.
The Ring of Honor seeks to recognize individuals who have achieved various levels of recognition through their church, school, community or professional life. The honoree must display commendable character and dedication to the values and mission of Mater Dei High School. Inductees are not required to be Mater Dei alumni. All members of the Mater Dei community will have nomination privileges. A call for nominations is sent in the spring of each year via e-mail and the Mater Dei website.
Ring of Honor inductees are recognized in June at the Annual Donor Appreciation Dinner.
