Marian High School History:

In 1960, Bishop Charles F. Buddy founded the first co-educational Catholic High School in the Diocese of San Diego. It would be built on twenty acres of land donated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Egger.
Seventy young students and a faculty of four embarked on a lasting venture which was to become known as Marian High School (The name was later changed to Marian Catholic High School). These boys and girls carried the hopes and best wishes of many people as they attended classes in a three­ room division of St. Charles School across the street from what would be the future campus.
1964 - From the original faculty of four, Marian's teach­ing staff had grown to number twenty-four. History and business departments, the latter being relatively new at Marian boasted seven members. Tuition was $250.
1964 - First graduating class.
1968 - Year Book dedicated to Lcpl Dennis Ray Christie, class of 1965
2007 - Last graduating class. Last Marian Year Book published.
2007 - The doors were closed for the last time and the campus was relocated to its new location in East Chula Vista, CA and renamed Mater Dei Catholic High School.
