Welcome to the DeMatha Family!

We are excited to offer summer academic opportunities for incoming freshmen to experience the DeMatha brotherhood, meet teachers, keep their minds active, and make new friends this summer!

Registration opens in April for our Math and English Enrichments courses and our Engineering and Robotics camps. There is high interest in these opportunities, and each class/camp is limited to fifteen spaces per week.

Our Athletic Trainers act as school nurses during the regular school day and are required to maintain all health and immunization information for ALL STUDENTS.

1. Athletic Trainer System (ATS) registration.  This registration is REQUIRED FOR ALL DeMatha students regardless of whether they are athletes or not.

2. 24-25 updated Health Forms packet must be completed in order to attend classes.  Documentation copied from a previous school can be used if within the correct time frame.

DeMatha requires a Math placement exam to assist the school counselors in creating schedules for individual students. A World Language exam is also available. More information will be sent out in April. This is NOT the same exam as the HSPT.

Student schedules are emailed the last week of July.

The Summer 2024 Reading List is available here.

The Summer 2025 Reading List will be published in June.

In conjunction with Zest Food Service, DeMatha offers an OPTIONAL on-line payment plan for food service that will allow you to monitor your son’s lunch time purchases, track what he has been eating for the past 30 days, make deposits directly into his meal account, and have an email reminder sent to you when an account balance gets low.  

There are 3 methods of payment to make deposits for the students’ debit account:

1) ACH payments requiring your checking account number and routing number

2) Major Credit Card or Debit Card

3) A check made payable to Zest Food Service.  

All purchases must be made through the cafeteria plan, using the student ID. 

As payments are made, each student’s account will be updated so that account balance information and payments will be readily available.
