Message from the President

Dear Bosco Tech Family

The past few weeks have been a time of faith stretching and mixed emotions for our school community.

Last week, during Ash Wednesday Mass, students and faculty held a memorial in honor of Bishop David G. O’Connell, our dear friend and a very dedicated member of our Board of Trustees. We all feel the loss of a kind and loving soul whose 40+ years of ministry consistently focused on fulfilling the Gospel and living a life of service to others.

Bishop Dave’s close friends and event committee, who have been planning our March 5 St. Patrick’s celebration for several months, are determined that the event should go on, as we believe he would have wanted. The funds raised through this popular annual event help many Tech students in need of financial assistance.

At the same time, our campus has been drawn together in a joyful way as our basketball team has made history by winning the CIF-SS Division 5AA Basketball Championship. These amazing athletes and their diligent coaches have made Tech history no basketball team has ever gone this far and the enthusiasm that has generated from every corner of campus has been over the top!

Sitting in the stands in the student cheering section during the finals, I was touched by the overwhelming support and camaraderie of the Techmen community alumni, current students, old friends, and family members! Our cheering section far outnumbered our opponents, a much larger high school.

Meanwhile, daily, I hear good news about our seniors earning more acceptances, and many scholarships, from universities and colleges across the country. Please join me in praying for our seniors as they make important decisions about their studies, future career path, and life.

This past week, we were fortunate to host Dr. Michael G. Thompson, author, psychologist, and educational expert. Part of our popular 2022-2023 Speaker Series, Dr. Thompson toured the campus and spoke to students, faculty and staff. After exploring our technology labs and speaking to students, he said “Everything about Bosco Tech seems relevant to future life to the student to whom I spoke.” He continued that our students have a “unique connection to their future professions in a way that’s really unusual.” It is incredibly affirming to hear an expert on boys’ education and wellbeing speak so highly of the work we’re doing to help prepare your sons for life.

May God continue to bless you and your family, Memo Gutierrez (AU ‘83)
