BOSCO TECH’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

THE GEAR

ISSUE 152 MAY 2025

CELEBRATING OUR EVERYDAY HEROES!

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Bosco Tech family-As the school year nears its end, there are so many highlights and milestones I want to share, but for the sake of brevity and newsletter page space, I will summarize just a few.

I recently had the opportunity to provide a more detailed overview of the year to our Board of Trustees and our major donors, many of whom are Tech alumni, and all of whom have a vested interest in the school’s growth and wellbeing. If you would like to read more about the overview, please click on the image below of the Spring President’s Report.

And although we’ve shared many of the year’s accomplishments with you in The Gear and on social media as they happen, bullet listing them is a valuable reminder of what a busy and successful year it’s been.

I’m confident this summer will be no different. In addition to get-ahead and remedial high school classes for our current students, our Freshman Summer Program, Tech Scholar Program for boys and girls, summer sports workshops and technology outreaches will see students and instructors on campus nearly every day for engaging interaction and in preparation for a successful fall.

Speaking of the fall, we’re looking forward to the pending start of the autumn admissions cycle for the 2026-27 academic year! When our Admissions team goes out to local elementary and middle schools, they will be able to engage with and offer our nationally unique program to girls, as well as boys, for the first time. The early feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive and we look forward to being able to offer our proven and respected program to an expanded audience.

In the coming days, we will bid Godspeed to another graduating class, and I ask that you pray with me for these young people with big dreams and great plans for their future. May they keep near to their hearts the valuable lessons learned at the Tech, the friendships formed, and the importance of foundational faith exemplified on campus.

God bless, Memo Gutierrez President & Tech Alumnus (AU ‘83)

Seth Guerrero: Seth is in the Tech’s BMET technology. In the fall, he will attend UCLA where he will major in history while doing premed. “Something I will take from Bosco is my experience on the Track and Cross Country teams,” he shares. “The practices and meets were some of the most fun I’ve had at the Tech. I may not have been the fastest but I always tried to do my best. I really cherish those memories!”

Dominic Diaz: Representi,ng CSEE, co-salutatorian Dominic will attend UC Irvine in the fall, majoring in Computer Science. “One memory I’ll take away from Bosco Tech is my experience at Kairos, both as a candidate in the Fall and a student leader in the Spring,” Dominic shares. “Kairos allowed me to reflect on myself and my own life and connect with my senior brothers on a deeper level, strengthening my values and redirecting my future for the better.”

Nathan Gonzalez: Nathan, a part of the Tech’s CSEE technology program, will major in Electrical Engineering this fall at Cal Poly Pomona. He says, “Something I will take with me from Bosco Tech will be my friends.

MEETING WORLD-FAMOUS CREATORS

BY MRS. ANNE SIGOLOFF

Bosco Tech juniors, parents and staff were in awe on their recent tour of Burbank’s WET Design.

The vision of former Disney Imagineer Mark Fuller, WET Design is a pioneering force behind groundbreaking fountain designs and engineering marvels worldwide, from the Fountains of Bellagio to the awe-inspiring Dubai Fountain (the world’s largest choreographed fountain), and hundreds more.

WET Design harnesses the elements of nature – water, fire, ice, fog, and light – to evoke emotions, transcend the mundane, and captivate audiences across the globe.

The Tech group toured WET Design’s complex laboratories including the design, fabrication, materials, manufacturing, chemistry, and electronics, as well as the prototyping and staging areas; all aspects of creating the mesmerizing fountain displays occur “in house.”

Bosco Tech students met and talked to some of the architects, designers, engineers and technicians who collaborate to create the magical, one-of -a-kind water works that dazzle crowds across the world. From the demonstrations of special effects infused into the water, to the delicious lunch and Fosselman’s soft serve ice cream, the students were made to feel like VIPs! A new partnership has been forged between Bosco Tech and WET Design where we are exploring future internship and employment opportunities. Thank you to our Bosco Tech parents who made this amazing and inspiring experience possible especially Ms. Veronica Valenzuela who works at WET Design!
