Wisdom of Ages at Mater Dei High

* Thank you for your Feb. 7 article about Mater Dei’s Josef D’Heygers, “Gentleman of the Old School.”

He was a fixture at the school when I attended in the early ‘70s, and it was touching to see he was still there when I enrolled my own three children at Mater Dei.

Josef and the staff at Mater Dei have always known that a high school is about commitment and heart as well as academics and athletics. That’s why my kids are there.

I found their attitude and your article refreshing in comparison to the usual news about high schools these days.
