ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT DR. FRANK ACOSTA (MS ‘94) —AMONG COUNTRY’S TOP NEUROSURGEONS Dr. Frank L. Acosta (MS ’94) is an Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery at the USC Spine Center at the Keck Hospital of USC. Considered one of the country’s top neurosurgeons, he focuses his practice on adult spine deformity, complex reconstructive spine surgery, scoliosis, revision spinal reconstruction and failed back syndrome.

Dr. Acosta previously served as associate professor of neurological surgery and clinical director of complex spinal reconstruction and spinal deformity at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Throughout his career, he has won numerous research awards, including Cedars Sinai Medical Center’s Golden Apple Resident Teaching Award and academic awards from Harvard Medical School. He was honored by the Scoliosis Research Society with their Small Exploratory Research Award and AOSpine International’s Hansjörg Wyss Research Award.

A 1994 graduate of Bosco Tech’s Materials Science technology, Dr. Acosta earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and completed his neurosurgery residency at the University of California, San Francisco. He also completed a complex and reconstructive spine surgery fellowship at Northwestern University of Chicago.

“I knew I wanted to study medicine during my freshman year of college when I had the opportunity to shadow an emergency medicine physician,” said Dr. Acosta. “I really admired his interaction with patients and the way he was able to accurately diagnosis and treat an illness in a short amount of time. I remember the patients he met seemed to be truly grateful for his help and I recall his humility in his interactions with everyone he treated. I felt that I wanted to have a similar impact on other people’s lives.”

“Bosco Tech helped prepare me for my work by instilling in me compassion and altruism, while also providing a rigorous academic environment that prepared me for my studies before, during, and after medical school,” he said. “What has stayed with me from my Bosco Tech days is the solid foundation of scientific and technological knowledge that are still valuable to my practice to this day. In addition, I still recall the sincere interest that my teachers took in my education and strive to do the same to the current residents and fellows that I work with today.”

“I hope to enhance the lives of my patients while at the same time improving and advancing the field of spine surgery while helping to educate and train the next generation of spine surgeons,” he explained.

In his downtime, the Brentwood resident enjoys spending time with his three-year-old daughter, Nya, and playing tennis and golf.

We are incredibly proud of Dr. Acosta and all he is doing to better the lives of so many others. May God richly bless you in your work, Doctor!

Bosco Tech is proud of our many alumni and will be featuring our graduates in issues of The Gear.

Great job to our NHS members who worked so hard that day and to their dedicated moderator, Mr. Michael Seymour!

REMEMBERING FLORIDA’S STUDENTS & FACULTY "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." --John 1:5 The Bosco Tech family recently gathered to honor the students and faculty tragically killed in February’s Florida school shooting.

Candles shining through the darkness of the gym served as part of the tribute to the lives lost and as a symbol of hope and everlasting life.

SAT EXAM SCHEDULING Attention parents of juniors: Please remind your son of the importance of taking the SAT tests that are coming up in May and June. Students tend to score the best during those months because they are in test mode, many having just completed Advanced Placement exams. They also approach the SAT at this time with a full year of fresh coursework under their belt. This can be especially beneficial in subjects like mathematics.

Of course, the SAT can be taken more than once, but this is just a reminder of the approaching test dates to help your son score at his highest possible level. Test fee waivers are available for families who qualify. Please contact Mr. Ray Chavez at rchavez@boscotech.edu for more information.

BOSCO TECH TECH TALKS UP AT THE FESTIVAL OF BOOKS —BY MRS. VIKI BATTAGLIA, DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI RELATIONS & SPECIAL EVENTS

On any given weeknight, you may find English teacher extraordinaire, Mr. Gabriel Gonzalez signing books at the local independent bookstore or giving a reading at the neighborhood library.

Mr. Gonzalez, under the pen name A.Z. Riel, is the published author of several books aimed at "accelerating core brain development by talking up to children." His “smartBooks for smarterBabies” feature his writing and illustrations with advanced literary and life concepts for children, using engaging satire to start-up critical thinking for application in a toddler’s everyday world.

Mr. Gonzalez believes that by talking up to children, we can accelerate brain development. Forget working on teaching children about boo-boos and ouchies; why are parents taking the time to teach children words that are soon forgotten? It is often said that babies and toddlers are sponges and able to grasp many concepts at such a young age. Mr. Gonzalez writes books that take this concept and has used it write several books—some of which will be featured at his booth at this year’s Festival of Books on Saturday and Sunday, April 21 and 22, 2018, opening both days at 10:00 am.

To learn more about Mr. Gonzalez’ books, check out his website www.RielBooks.com or follow him on Facebook and don’t forget to visit him at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on the USC campus April 21 -22. (Check festival schedule for appearance time.)

ENGINEERING ALUMNI & SPECIAL GUESTS INSPIRE STUDENTS ON ENGINEERS DAY In a unique joint celebration, Bosco Tech and girls from our sister schools Alverno Heights Academy, Ramona Convent Secondardy School and San Gabriel Mission High School celebrated National Engineers Week together on Wednesday, February 21.

The female students joined their high school hosts for presentations given by respected scientists and engineers, the majority of whom are Tech alumni. The speakers, who represented companies like NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Edison International covered topics as space flight mechanisms, effective city planning, and digital cloud storage “Engineers Week is a natural fit for a STEMbased school like Bosco Tech,” said Principal Xavier Jimenez. “Hearing from our own alumni who are engineering professionals is an invaluable opportunity for current students, and we are happy to have been able to share that with students from our sister schools.”

“Bosco Tech regularly engages industry scientists and engineers to visit the campus and speak about the path to university and their careers beyond. That connection to the ‘real world’ helps to better prepare Bosco Tech graduates for the many opportunities they will have after high school.”

FRESHMAN TIE CEREMONY— CELEBRATING THE CLASS OF ‘21 The class of 2021 was presented with their official Bosco Tech class ties at a very special Mass at the end of January. God bless these fine young gentlemen and their endeavors over the next three and a half years!
