In a year marked by accomplishment and consistent growth, a standout moment was the band’s appearance in the 2025 Rose Parade—a milestone that brought international attention to our school. This remarkable achievement echoes St. John Bosco’s original vision for his oratory, where music was considered a foundational pillar of education. ¶ “An oratory without music is like a body without a soul,” Don Bosco once said. “Don’t interrupt the music.” Just as it requires harmony, tonality and fine tuning, so too does effective campus life. These essential elements provide a

sense of synchrony and guide us forward with purpose, uniting us in rhythm and direction as we strive toward a shared goal. ¶ It was my great pleasure to witness our young musicians step onto the world stage on that brisk New Year’s Day morning. They were understandably nervous, uncertain of what lay ahead. But with expert training, consistent guidance, hard work, and unwavering encouragement, they stepped into the sunshine, played their first harmonious note—and rose to the occasion. They embraced the once-in-alifetime experience fully—just as we hope every young person at the Tech embraces their educational journey and that we, as effective instructors, encourage them to step into opportunity for growth. ¶ That moment reflected the heart of our mission: to nurture natural talent, inspire confidence, and help each student discover and refine their God-given gifts and their path in life. This is our goal for every student and alumnus of Bosco Tech. Each member of our faculty and staff is committed to bringing out the best in our students, encouraging them to work in harmony, grow in faith, and march forward with confidence and purpose.
Memo Gutierrez (Automotive ’83) President
As Memo shared, 2024-2025 has been a year of planned and steady advancement as we continue moving toward the goals outlined in our strategic plan. Plans for a new Academic Facility are well underway, with contractors engaged in pre-construction budgeting and project organization. ¶ In preparation for our coeducational transition in Fall 2026, campus facilities are being thoughtfully renovated and modernized, as our team carefully evaluates each vital component to ensure a seamless expansion of the student

body. ¶ At the heart of this growth is our unwavering focus on what is best for both our current and future students. The Board of Trustees remains fully committed to supporting school leadership and ensuring that all initiatives reflect and uphold our mission—to provide a transformative educational experience rooted in faith, innovation, and excellence. ¶ In the following pages, we spotlight just a few of the individuals making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students through their work as educators, mentors, donors, and friends of Bosco Tech. Their dedication and generosity are what make everything we do possible. ¶ As a proud Tech alumnus, I’m inspired by the continued loyalty and support shown by generations of Techmen—and I look forward to what we will achieve together in the years ahead.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC
"We know that music education enhances academic performance, language development, creativity, and cognitive skills, making it an essential component of a well-rounded education. But it also can be a vital means of expressing oneself and of communicating with others.”
– SAM HANKINS BOSCO TECH MUSIC PROGRAM DIRECTOR
“’THE MUSIC OF THE YOUNG should be listened to with the heart and not with the ears.’ St. John Bosco’s words are still relevant and really set the tone for so much of what we do at the Tech, listening with the heart, and not just in the music department, but across the campus,” Bosco Tech Music Program Director Sam Hankins said. “It’s always important to listen to what young people are trying to say.” ¶ “We know that music education enhances academic performance, language development, creativity, and cognitive skills, making it an essential component of a well-rounded education. But it also can be a vital means of expressing oneself and of communicating with others.”¶ An award-winning recording artist, Mr. Hankins teaches music appreciation and instrumentation and trains the marching, jazz, and concert bands. Through his work, he savors the opportunity to share his knowledge with the next generation and to help students develop their own musical ‘voice.’ ¶ “It’s said that Don Bosco's love for music transformed his oratory into a lively and vibrant space where young people could find joy, inspiration, and a sense of

community,” Sam continued. “That goal has not changed at all!” ¶ This year’s in-depth music instruction and synchronized drill training prepared Tech marching band members and their cohorts at St. John Bosco and Bishop Mora Salesian High Schools for their memorable performance in the 2025 Rose Parade. A once-in-alifetime experience, the appearance on the world stage was the culmination of 10 months of hard work by students, music directors, section leaders, instrument coaches and volunteer parents. ¶ “Each of those hardworking students earned an experience they’ll never forget,” Sam said. “Marching side by side down Colorado Boulevard, they knew their dedication had paid off.” ¶ “A short prayer, a deep breath, and before I knew it, we were off,” recounted Aditya Kumar, Tech junior and section leader, of the January 1 morning. “I suddenly realized the magnitude of what we were doing…we were making history!” ¶ Here’s to those teaching young people to express themselves and making history in the process!
“The music of the young should be listened to with the heart and not with the ears.”

KEYNOTE INSPIRATION
IN ADDITION TO FULFILLING his responsibilities as Managing Partner of the Law Offices of Borton Petrini, LLP, Bosco Tech alumnus Edward J. Morales served as 2025 President of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, providing leadership for the 136th Rose Parade and the 111th Rose Bowl Game. It was at Ed’s invitation that the Tech Marching Band performed in the internationally viewed 2025 parade. ¶ With the Tournament for 33 years, Ed has spearheaded several vital committees including Community Relations, Membership, Decorating Places, Queen and Court, Media Operations and Post Parade. After the promotion to Committee Chair in 2006, he joined the Tournament Board of Directors in 2011, and was elected to the Executive Committee in 2016. ¶

two children, Lainey and Jessie, both college students. ¶ Stepping to the podium to address the 2025 graduates at commencement exercises, Ed stressed four key points:
1. Volunteer to help others.
“I guarantee it will enrich your life beyond measure,” he said.
2. Find your purpose in life.
“I say this to encourage you to make the most of it and, yes, that includes having fun with your friends, cherishing your family, and taking time to enjoy those people who have your back. Show gratitude to those people who are in your corner and who want the best for you more than they want anything for themselves. And enjoy every step along the way!”
– ED MORALES (BT '81)
As an attorney, Ed’s primary emphasis is civil litigation, employment law, insurance defense, estate planning, trust litigation, personal injury, and premises liability. He received his undergraduate degree in History from UCLA, and earned his Juris Doctorate from Loyola Law School in 1992. ¶ Ed has served on the Boards of Directors of several local non-profit organizations including Hathaway Sycamores, Foothill Family Services and California School of the Arts Foundation. He is a past president and former board member of the Pasadena Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees). He also served on the Board and as President of the St. Philip the Apostle School Board in Pasadena. Edward and his wife, Lisa, reside in Pasadena, and have
“I urge you to find your purpose, your passion, your reason for being here on planet earth. You are part of God’s plan; you are not an accident.”
3. Have empathy.
“Take the time to empathize with others. Give them the benefit of the doubt.”
4. And be mindful of the clock!
“I say this to you to encourage you to get on with the business of living your life and following your dreams.”
“I say this to encourage you to make the most of it and, yes, that includes having fun with your friends, cherishing your family, and taking time to enjoy those people who have your back. Show gratitude to those people who are in your corner and who want the best for you more than they want anything for themselves. And enjoy every step along the way!”
“I urge you to find your purpose, your passion, your reason for being here on planet earth. You are part of God’s plan; you are not an accident.”

INSPIRATIONAL INSTRUCTION
IT HAS NEVER BEEN SIMPLY a love of history or a desire to share that love; it was always the inspiration to make a difference in the lives of others, and to let them know they could make a difference as well, that drove Richard Ronan’s 50+ year teaching career at the Tech. ¶ Mr. Ronan, who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history at Santa Clara University, came to the Tech in 1974. After several years in the Social Studies department, he moved into school administration, serving in a variety of roles that included college dean, curriculum coordinator and, most recently, registrar. He also served on the Administrative
Council and the Board of Trustees, and has been the principal of Bosco Tech’s summer school program since 1981. ¶ Appointed Social Studies department chair in 1987, Mr. Ronan proceeded to incorporate into the curriculum a geography course and Advanced Placement courses in U.S. History and Government. He himself has taught nine different social studies courses, from world history to American government (at both the high school and college levels). Along the way, he was voted Bosco Tech’s Teacher of the Year and was honored with the Principal’s Award for exemplary instruction. ¶ Continually impressed by the tireless dedication of his colleagues, he credits the school’s success to the special relationship fostered between students and faculty that he identifies as one of the hallmarks of a Salesian education. “I came to teach for a year; I stayed a lifetime,” Rich has famously said of his 51 years at the Tech. ¶ Rich believes wholeheartedly in the Salesian precepts. “You can apply the oratory at whatever place in life you find yourself,” he explained. “It will make a positive difference not just for you, but for everyone you encounter. You can

bring your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and anyone you encounter in your life into the oratory. You will be serving a higher purpose, building the kingdom of God.” ¶ Having applied the same Salesian principle of reason and loving kindness in raising his four children, he and his wife, Kathy, now see the young adults passing it forward. Each has a successful career in Catholic education. ¶ And now, as Mr. Ronan retires, he leaves valuable lessons, part of his legacy at the Tech:
• That each young person knows he can become a saint, as he reminded students by starting each class with an introduction to the saint of the day.
• That, as American sports writer Grantland Rice said, "It's not whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game."
• That, as Winston Churchill exhorted the students of Harrow College, his own school, no matter how challenging the task, “Never give up! Never, never give up!”
• And that “honor is always more important than honors.” Godspeed, Mr. Ronan!
“You can apply the [Salesian] oratory at whatever place in life you find yourself,” he explained. “It will make a positive difference not just for you, but for everyone you encounter. You can bring your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and anyone you encounter in your life into the oratory. You will be serving a higher purpose, building the kingdom of God.”

WAYS TO GIVE
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GIVE
For more information, contact Memo Gutierrez, Bosco Tech President, at mgutierrez@boscotech.edu. All communication is confidential. (A tax advisor can help you review planned giving options.)
CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS: a charitable remainder trust can benefit you now by providing a lifetime income that is tax advantaged, saving you income taxes now and reducing your estate tax later while benefiting Bosco Tech.
CONTINGENT BENEFICIARIES: Naming 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
When considering a gift, please remember that there are many ways to make a lasting difference at Bosco Tech.
gift. Furthermore, your spouse may be eligible for a matching plan on the same gift, turning it into a triple benefit.
LIFE INSURANCE: Some people use life insurance 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.
STOCK OPTIONS: If exercised after 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.
WE ARE…GRATEFUL.
