From campus renovations, new board appointments, and a fresh emphasis on professional development, to enhanced admissions practices, the school truly is on a deliberate trajectory of growth, with a bright future ahead.

They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

– Psalm 84:7

Caption at right: "We are truly grateful because you continue to make the Tech strong."

GROWING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH As we shared in the Spring Report, the Tech is strong and getting even stronger!

It’s been a year of tremendous progress and accomplishment that contribute to the fulfillment of our mission—providing the best educational environment for young people, as Cardinal McIntyre envisioned so many years ago. ¶ From campus renovations, new board appointments and a fresh emphasis on professional development, to enhanced admissions practices, the school truly is on a deliberate trajectory of growth, with a bright future ahead. ¶ And, as the school builds momentum and moves from ‘strength to strength,’ it’s reflective of the context of Psalm 84:7, the scripture from which that term originates. Just as the ancient Israelites found a new awareness of God's grace and an affirmation of their purpose as they sought Him and forged ahead, so Tech leadership is discovering profundity and resources as careful planning and measured advancements are made. ¶ Borrowing from our old Tech physics lessons, momentum can be simply defined as the strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events. We trust that in the following pages, you will gain a sense of the strength and of all that’s progressing at Bosco Tech, due in no small part to the invaluable support we receive from our alumni, friends, donors, faculty and staff, and parents, both past and current. We are truly grateful because you continue to make the Tech strong!

– Memo Gutierrez (Automotive ’83) President – John Krakowski (Drafting ’72) Chair, Board of Trustees

Expanding admissions outreach

WIDENING OUR REACH In the past 18 months, the Tech’s Admissions staffing and systems have judiciously expanded. In the ‘21-‘22 academic year, the school welcomed Tom Hogan as Director of Admissions, Diana Kelly as Associate Director of Admissions, and Samantha Tsai as Admission Coordinator. Working alongside Director of Tuition Assistance John Garcia, the team’s increased resources have allowed them to refine the onboarding process and focus on a holistic family approach to admissions and retention, while broaching new audiences. ¶ “We’re widening our reach and, by that, we mean transitioning the Tech from what’s essentially the best kept educational secret in some parts of L.A. to a wellknown entity throughout the area,” said Tom Hogan. “By increasing staffing, we’ve been able to double the number of school visits and identify areas we’ll visit in the future. Also, we’ve refined the application process while increasing communication with prospective families through every stage of the admissions ‘funnel.’” Efforts have resulted in the number of applications for the upcoming school year doubling those of 2022. ¶ “An enhanced ability to tell our story to a wider audience is the primary key to broadening our applicant base,” Tom continued. “We understand the vital role Admissions plays in shaping the composition, diversity, and collective success of our student body. Not only do we seek students who have a genuine interest in technology and science, but who will

thrive in an environment based on Don Bosco’s oratory model.” ¶ “From the first interaction, we want prospective families to have a clear understanding of today’s Tech and where we’re headed in future. And I say ‘families’ because this is not just about admitting a student, but forming a relationship with the family. The opportunity to interact with students and their families face-to-face is crucial, and having applicants actually experience the Tech for themselves is key in their decision making. And while we often hear comments that our programs are amazing, what is of greater importance to families is that our young guests immediately feel at home.” ¶ Because such a heavy emphasis is placed on parental involvement in the admissions process, an atmosphere that is welcoming to the family is essential.

A complete renovation of the school’s administrative lobby and meeting room in fall 2022 reflect a comfortable, contemporary look. ¶ “In the design stages, it was ascertained that the updated gathering area should be spacious enough to comfortably interact with several members of the family,” Tom explained. “From admissions to graduation to the transition to higher education, a successful process requires that school and family consistently work in concert. Studies show that stronger school-home partnerships are beneficial in many ways and, ultimately, greatly improve student outcomes. That’s always what we’re all about."

Providing the best possible environment

Caption at right: Facilities Manager James Iaconis has been keeping the Tech running smoothly for 35 years.

The seemingly effortless functioning of the Tech’s infrastructure and learning environment has been entrusted to the capable hands of Facilities Manager James Iaconis for the past 35 years.

And now, with plans for further refinement of the existing physical plant and future expansion, the need for careful assessment and clear foresight has never been more crucial. ¶ “The Tech has important things to accomplish in the next few years,” said James. “In maintaining and advancing our physical plant, our goal is to continually provide tech-forward enhancements and optimal learning experiences for students. Our maintenance team understands that providing the best possible environment enables teachers to most effectively engage students.” ¶ James, whose son Giovanni graduated from the Tech’s Media Arts & Technology program in 2018, has seen many changes over the decades and knows the campus better than anyone.

He remembers the days when the Drafting & Design program was located under Tech Hall and filled with drafting tables and T-squares, and the football field was still the ‘desert,’ undeveloped acreage behind the technology

buildings. ¶ Prior to his 1988 arrival on campus, James worked for several years in the construction industry, where he apprenticed as a plumber. This followed service in the U.S. Army in both active duty and the reserves, where he achieved the rank of sergeant. ¶ The most fulfilling part of his work at the Tech, James explained, has always been about ensuring the campus is running optimally for students. “It’s the reward of seeing everything ready for them so they can come on campus,attend classes, and go about their day with no issues,” he said. “I believe if you have a smoothly running, well-equipped and orderly campus, you feel safe and you feel even better about going to school.” ¶ “We all recognize the Tech is an incubator for innovation. So, it’s both challenging and exciting from the perspective of both day-to-day operations and in methodical preparation for the future. We have to continually explore emerging technologies and anticipate what will best serve students down the road.” ¶ “We’re all working as a team, toward the same goal, to create the best environment for these young men, in every way possible.”

Statistically, graduates who complete internships are more likely to be gainfully employed and earn more than students who do not intern. Studies report that between 58 and 70 percent of internships convert to full-time jobs.

BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES Professional internships complement technology lab work and instructional lectures. The invaluable practicums provide a rare opportunity for Tech students to apply their growing knowledge and work under the mentorship of scientists, doctors, project managers, and engineers. ¶ In the past ten years, more than 200 Bosco Tech students have interned at such organizations as The Boeing Company, Kaiser Permanente and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

In many cases, alumni working at the companies have been instrumental in providing the vital experiences. ¶ Prior to embarking on the internships, juniors complete six months of training in workplace etiquette, networking, resume writing and interviewing. After obtaining and completing internships, the students return to campus in the fall with a new insight into their future university majors and career plans and class credit, after submitting a detailed report. ¶ Frequently, interns like Nathan Felix (ACE ’22) are invited to continue the working relationship. While beginning studies in Urban Planning and Structural Engineering at UC San Diego, Nathan was invited to return to the Griffith Company this past summer. ¶ Offered the opportunity by Tech alumnus and Griffith Project Manager Luis Cervantes (BT ’97), Nathan is both appreciative and enthusiastic. “I’m excited and grateful to be invited back to intern again,”

he said. “The Griffith Company has provided me with the opportunity to express my creativity, aligning with my aspirations of becoming an engineer.

What I enjoyed most about it was being able to see all aspects of heavy civil engineering.” said Nathan, who worked primarily on the Diamond Bar Golf Course renovation. “I witnessed the process, starting with bidding to actual construction, to seeing how the project manager works with city and county teams. From a field perspective, I saw how the superintendent manages the foremen, lead men, surveyors, oper­ators and subcontractors.” ¶ This summer, Nathan is joined at the Breabased construction giant by recent Tech graduates Diego Munoz (IDEA ’23) and Santiago Vargas (ACE ’23) before they head to their respective universities, CSU Los Angeles and Fullerton in the fall. ¶ “Internships teach young people so many things,” said Luis. “Not only do they gain experience in their future field, but they learn invaluable skills like time and project management. At Griffith, we make sure the interns experience everything we do, from sending them to job sites to meeting with subcontractors, so they have a wellrounded, practical education.” ¶ “As a Tech alum who was mentored myself, paying it forward to current students and new grads is a natural step in giving others an opportunity.”

Caption at right: Head Cheer Coach and Choreographer Michele Casanova has invested 25 years in building up the Tech community.

CHEERING ON THE WHOLE TEAM In addition to creating an atmosphere of belonging, collaboration and pride, spirit can promote an increased commitment to a school’s mission and ongoing advancement. Those schools with dynamic spirit are more likely to invest in resources, training and professional development for their instructors, in turn, enhancing their motivation by providing them with the tools and support to succeed. ¶ Leading the charge of cheering on the entire Tech community is Head Cheer Coach and Choreographer Michele Casanova.

Michele sees her role as much as a cheerleader for the faculty and staff as she does a coach and advisor for the Tiger Cheer Team. She feels driven to coach each member of her team over the years to be the best they can be, individually as well as collectively. In her 36-year career in training competitive teams, 25 of those years with the Tigers, she says the Tech has the best people she’s worked with and always wants them to feel appreciated. ¶ “The Tech has always felt like a family where people support each other,” she explained. “With anything that you put your heart into, being appreciated

for it makes you want to do more or do even better.” Most rewarding, said Michele, is when former cheer team members come back to share what they’re now doing and to encourage the current squad to apply themselves and stay focused. Returning cheerleaders have shared their progress in medical school, law practices, nursing and teaching, among others. ¶ In addition to rigorous training for competition and attendance at all Tech events and games, Michele ensures that the cheer team commits to community service, like beach clean-up days, food drives, Breast Cancer Awareness fundraisers, and annual campus activities like Teacher Appreciation Week. ¶ “Representing something bigger shows the squad that it’s not just about them,” said Michele, who is a full-time behavioral specialist with the South Whittier School District. “Everyone at the Tech is so appreciative of what the squad contributes that it helps the girls.

And it’s reciprocal. As excited as the girls are to cheer on the Tech community, they appreciate the support they receive from the parents, athletes, band members, and teachers.”

Caption at right: Kairos' goals are clear: to call young people to live their faith and recognize how Christ fits into their lives, develop leadership potential, experience Christian community, and to appreciate and value themselves and those individuals who make their lives meaningful.

EXPLORING AND SHARING OUR FAITH “I really believe Kairos has helped change lives for the better, and in some cases, has saved the lives of students who just needed a little time to realize they are loved,” said Tech instructor Mr. Rob Godinez, who has been involved in the contemplative retreat program for 25 years. “Kairos continues to remind me that we have built a great support system at Bosco Tech with a caring and compassionate faculty and staff, but more importantly, a caring and compassionate student body who truly do love one another.” ¶ Kairos, founded by Jesuits in the ‘70s, encourages high school and college-age students to examine the role of faith in their lives and relationships. From the Greek word for "God's time," Kairos has been a vital part of peer ministry and campus life, offered to Tech juniors and seniors since the early ‘80s. ¶ The goals are clear: to call young people to live their faith and recognize how Christ fits into their lives, develop leadership potential, experience Christian community, and to appreciate and value themselves and those who make their lives meaningful. It focuses on relationships and reconciliation through a series of candid and thought-provoking talks given by

peers and adults. Prayer is an essential part, as well as group discussions and various reflective exercises. Under the spiritual direction of faculty, the retreat’s success relies heavily on student leadership. The young leaders spend months in preparation for each retreat to ensure it is spiritually and relationally beneficial and promotes a sense of brotherhood. ¶ “What we, as student leaders, emphasize is that Kairos is not a spectator sport and the candidates receive what they put into the retreat,” explained Brandon Bocanegra, a new graduate and 2022-2023 Kairos student leader. “Those who take advantage of this retreat have had their lives changed in the most positive way and they gained bonds and relationships with other candidates and retreat leaders for life.” ¶ “Kairos is about better understanding and often, mending relationships, ones with our friends, with God, our families, and, most importantly, ourselves. My personal goal for my candidates was for them to know that they are loved and cared for and, when it seems like no one is in their corner, that their ‘brothers’ will be there to pick them back up and push them to success.”

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GIVE

BOSCO TECH

W AY S T O G I V E

When considering a gift, please remember that there are many ways to make a lasting difference at Bosco Tech: CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS: a charitable

remainder trust can benefit you now by providing a lifetime income that is tax advantaged, save you income taxes now, reduce your estate tax later and benefit Bosco Tech.

as a contingent beneficiary can benefit the Tech when the unexpected happens, but without loss if the normal course of events takes place.

Contingent beneficiaries can be used in wills, life insurance and annuity contracts, pension accounts, IRAs, and 401(k)s.

STOCK GIFTS: If you give an asset with a long-term

capital gain, you never have to pay the capital gains taxes, but get the same amount of tax deduction as if you gave a cash donation. This can be a huge tax savings for you, and still provide the Tech with all the intended benefit. Please note that the asset must qualify for long-term capital gains treatment and have a ‘gain’ to benefit.

GIFT MATCHING PROGRAMS: A long-time strategy

for helping the Tech is to use an employer matching gift plan for your donation. In these plans, your employer will make a donation alongside yours to the Tech, which can double your gift. Furthermore, your spouse may be eligible for a matching plan on the same gift, turning it into a triple benefit.

as a way of multiplying their gift. For a small amount (the insurance premium), they can leave a large amount (the death benefit) to the Tech.

If you don’t have dependents, don’t forget the insurance provided by your employer. Consider naming Bosco Tech as your beneficiary.

PENSIONS, IRAS, 401(K)S AND ANNUITIES: When

paid out at death, these accounts may be taxed in excess of 75%, after you add up federal and state income taxes, state death taxes and federal estate taxes. If you name the Tech as your beneficiary, you sidestep all these taxes. If you’re married, you probably want to name your spouse as the primary beneficiary, but consider naming Bosco Tech as your contingent beneficiary.

2022-2023 ANNUAL REPORT

CONTINGENT BENEFICIARIES: Naming Bosco Tech

LIFE INSURANCE: Some people use life insurance

STOCK OPTIONS: If exercised after your death,

stock options will generate income taxes and may generate state taxes. However, if you name the Tech as beneficiary of your employer-provided stock options, both taxes will be eliminated.
