My <br />oldest brother began his freshman year at MDHS when I was just 2 years old and I began working at Mater Dei <br />the summer after my college graduation. This school truly is a family. A family that supports students through <br />millions of dollars of need -based financial aid each school year. Much of which is awarded to Santa Ana <br />residents. <br />This familiar spot at the corner of Bristol and Edinger has been a beacon in this great city for 65 years. About <br />27,000 MDHS graduates have walked these halls in Santa Ana. Mater Dei's commitment to remaining in Santa <br />Ana and it's commitment to the students of Santa Ana is amazing. As you well know, there were numerous <br />opportunities for MDHS to move elsewhere in Orange County but MD has continued to invest in our city and <br />our residents and remains one of the best high schools in the country, right here at Bristol and Edinger. <br />The partnership of the school and the City through the robust redevelopment of the campus has been <br />fantastic. With the final phase just around the corner, I urge you to continue that partnership by guaranteeing <br />fiscal support of the public works portions of the upcoming parking structure construction. <br />Thank you for your time, <br />Kathleen Kelly <br />Santa Ana West Floral Park Resident <br />65A -35 <br />
