BOSCO TECH 2017 COLLEGE FAIR FEATURES 70+ COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES (DRAWS RECORD CROWD)

ALUMNUS & CURRENT PARENT HONORED BY STATE SENATE Congratulations to Tech alumnus and current parent Eric A. Tscharanyan (ME ’86) (son Arakel is a freshman) who has been awarded the 2017 Veterans Service Award for the California 22nd Senate District. He will be recognized by Senator Ed Hernandez, O.D. for his valor and service to his country and community on Nov. 3.

Sergeant Tscharanyan has been with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department since 1991, after serving in the U.S. Army where he was Chief Warrant Officer. He is currently assigned to the Sheriff’s Eric and the team who recovered the stolen Rembrandt painting for Sweden’s Department Custody Division’s Jail Task National Museum.

Force.

He has worked on several exciting assignments during his years in the department including an undercover operation with the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement agency that resulted in the recovery of a Rembrandt portrait stolen from the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. This successful operation resulted in Sergeant Tscharanyan earning numerous commendations and honors, in addition to commendations for exemplary performance.

ACADEMIC COUNSELING TEAM VISITS UNIV. OF THE WEST Bosco Tech’s academic counseling team recently visited the University of the West, located a few blocks away from our campus. The group met with members of the university’s administration, including the president, Dr. Stephen Morgan, formerly president of the University of La Verne. Currently, there are approximately seven Tech graduates attending and doing well at the university.

The counseling team’s purpose is to deepen relationships with neighboring educational institutions, serving the same general communities. Additionally, since Bosco Tech has a growing international student enrollment, this cooperative relationship benefits the common knowledge of teachings and culture already established at University of the West. Dual enrollment possibilities are being examined to provide opportunities for the Tech’s advanced students.

Plans are in the works for the Tech’s counseling team to meet with administrators of other colleges to create the best working relationships possible to assist our students. The next stop is Cal Poly, Pomona, followed by Chapman University.

BOSCO TECH COLLEGE NIGHT DRAWS CROWDS The academic counseling department of Bosco Tech hosted its College Fair for high school students and their parents on October 10. About 1,000 enthusiastic attendees met with representatives from 70 four-year colleges and universities from across the country.

The free annual event, sponsored by The Princeton Review, provides local high school students a venue in which to meet representatives from top colleges in one location, enabling young people and their families a valuable opportunity to explore their options and compare colleges and universities from across the country.

The Princeton Review breakout session was handled by Mr. Ed Ceja; his topic was “Standardized Testing for College: SAT & ACT.” The presentation was geared primarily toward Bosco Tech juniors and their parents. Another breakout session was hosted by Mr. Bob Godinez (Mr. Rob Godinez’ father) on “Financial Aid for College.” His presentation was primarily geared toward Bosco Tech seniors and their parents.

Congratulations and thanks to the entire Bosco Tech Counseling Department on a job well done!

ACE AWARDED LOWE’S AND SKILLSUSA GRANT Lowe’s and SkillsUSA have awarded a $9,904 grant to Bosco Tech for equipment for the school’s Architecture & Construction Engineering (ACE) program. Bosco Tech is one of 31 programs nationwide, primarily chapters of SkillsUSA, to receive Lowe’s grants in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $25,000. The grants are designed to strengthen local communities as they provide enhanced learning opportunities for students.

The Tech’s grant will purchase three professional table saws and peripheral equipment. In order to ensure student safety, these saws have an automatic brake which prevents serious injuries. Students will use these saws as part of a project-based, pre-engineering curriculum that includes building scale models, testing of structural components, bridge engineering, green technologies, and construction of full-scale residential housing frames.

“We’re extremely grateful to Lowe’s and SkillsUSA for this grant,” said Eric Tom, Bosco Tech’s Assistant Principal of STEM Studies. “This generous grant will enable us to provide safe, professional-grade equipment, ensuring that our students are well-versed in both conceptual and practical applications of construction and civil engineering.”

Lowe’s, a FORTUNE® 50 home improvement company, has a 60-year legacy of supporting the communities it serves through programs that focus on K-12 public education and community improvement projects. In the past decade, Lowe’s and the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation together have contributed nearly $300 million to these efforts, and for more than two decades Lowe’s Heroes volunteers have donated their time to make our communities better places to live.

Daniel will be soon presented with a letter of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).

While learning this wonderful news, Hosseini, who is a drum major and student leader in Bosco Tech’s music program and a member of Cal State Los Angeles’ honor band, got the word about his placement in the Tournament of Roses Honor Band, following a rigorous audition this month. He plays French Horn in the Cal State LA concert band and will play the Mellophone in the parade’s marching band. The 230-strong ensemble consists of hand-selected high school students from all over Southern California, and select Pasadena City College Marching Band and Color Guard members.

Daniel will be busy in the coming months maintaining the honor band’s rigorous practice schedule. We will all be cheering for him on New Year’s Day when he marches in the 2018 parade, themed “Making a Difference.”

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT WILLIAM M. MARTICORENA (ME ‘70) CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, GENERAL COUNSEL, AND INTERIM HEAD OF SCHOOL In 2014, Bill Marticorena (ME ’70) joined the Bosco Tech Board of Trustees. He was elected Chairman-Elect in 2015 and Chairman in 2017. He also serves as General Counsel and Interim Head of School.

Born and raised in East Los Angeles and Monterey Park, Bill came to Bosco Tech in 1966 to pursue a career in chemistry. His life was changed forever when he became immersed in the school’s Speech and Debate Program.

"Bosco Tech is the rock solid foundation upon which I built my personal life and professional career,” Bill said. “It gave me the necessary analytical skills, work ethic, and moral compass to become a successful attorney and good person. I came back "home" to serve the Tech and its students so that it can do for others what it did for me."

The first in his family to attend college, Bill matriculated to Loyola University Los Angeles (now LMU) and graduated, cum laude, in 1974. While at Loyola, he was a nationally ranked college debater and pursued an Air Force ROTC Commission. His academic performance and debating skills led him to Harvard Law School, where he graduated, cum laude, in 1977. Upon graduation, he joined Rutan & Tucker, LLP where he has spent the last 40 years as a senior equity partner. He also served on the faculties of Western State University College of Law and UC Irvine School of Law. Bill been a member of the Boards of the Orange County Bar Association, the Girl Scouts Council of Orange County and the Harvard Law School Association of Orange County.

Bill married Lynda, also a lawyer, in 1980. In 1987, they built a house in Laguna Hills and raised a menagerie of animals including pot-bellied pigs, goats, chickens, and dogs, not to mention three children. His son, Drew (Yale, 2008) finished his Ph.D. in Horticultural Science at North Carolina State University, after receiving a Masters in Neurobiology from Duke University. His firm provides weather-based consulting services to agriculture, government and NGOs around the world.

Daughter Brieanna (Harvard, 2009), received her MBA from Princeton University, joined the U.S. Department of Defense, spent fifteen months in Kabul, Afghanistan, serving as a policy advisor to Generals John Allen and Joseph Dunford, Commanders, ISAF, completed national security fellowships in Australia and Belgium, and joined the Staff of Representative Keith Ellison (D-Mn) as his Foreign Affairs Legislative Assistant. Caitlin (Holy Cross, 2010) works in the legal department of Apria Health Care as a legal specialist.

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

RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE Did you know: -every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood?

-about 1 in 7 people entering a hospital needs blood?

-one pint of blood can save up to three lives?

These facts reinforce how precious a gift Bosco Tech students, faculty and members of the Rosemead community gave at the school’s Red Cross Blood Drive on October 3. An impressive total of 49 units of blood was collected.

The next blood drive is Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018.

A May drive will follow; the date will be announced soon.

Also, please ask your son if he knows that Bosco Tech has its own Red Cross Club, run by IDEA senior Fabrizio Castaneda. Faculty club moderators are Mr. Jim Curiel and Mrs. Anne Sigoloff. The club is a valuable opportunity for students to learn more about health and safety issues and gain leadership experience.

2018 SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM GEARS UP If your son currently is a junior who may be interested in completing an internship next summer, please remind him to attend the upcoming introductory meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 8, on the second floor of the campus library from 11:10 a.m. to 12 noon. Internship program applications will be distributed during the meeting; they must be completed and submitted by Wednesday, Nov. 15.

Interested candidates must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, show maturity, enthusiasm and commitment, and must participate in the internship preparation process. Following application submission, candidates will attend monthly job prep sessions that cover invaluable basics like resume writing, office etiquette, and professional networking.

Internships provide hands-on experience in a real-world setting and can enhance college applications. The Boeing Company, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Kaiser Permanente are just a few of the companies that hosted Bosco Tech interns last summer. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Anne Sigoloff at asigoloff@boscotech.edu.

CROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS SET NEW PERSONAL RECORDS —BY ASSISTANT CROSS COUNTRY COACH BRAD STOLZ

In the last three meets, Bosco Tech’s runners have won a number of medals and set many new personal records (PRs). They have been busy!

On September 23, we attended the Dana Hills Invitational Meet at Dana Point. This is a large event with runners from many schools. Half of our runners established a new PR for themselves at this meet. Our sophomores, and especially our freshmen, did well.

Sophomores Casey Reynolds and Oscar Cendejas each won a medal. Oscar’s time was 17:58, Bosco’s second fastest time of the day, and a new PR for him—a one minute, one second improvement with his breaking into the 17s for the first time! Oscar’s performance was so outstanding that he moved up to varsity for the next meet. Freshman Joseph Perez had the third fastest Bosco time of the day, winning a medal with his #17 finish. His performance also merited his move up to varsity for the next meet. The stellar performance of the day was freshman Jeremy Valdivia with a finish of 17:23, just 5 seconds away from his current PR. He also won a medal by finishing #6 out of 163 freshmen runners, and was the fastest Techman at the meet. There certainly would have been more Bosco medals and PRs, but our juniors were unable to race due to SAT test prep back at the Tech that day.

October 10 was the date of our second league meet, held at Santa Fe Dam in Irwindale. The juniors were running this time, and our #1 runner Aaron Dominguez did his usual and finished first for Bosco and #6 in the varsity race, followed by senior Sidney Herrera in second place. First time varsity runners Joseph Perez and Oscar Cendejas proved their value by having Bosco’s 3rd and 4th fastest time of the day, followed closely by JV runner Casey Reynolds as #5. Because of the heat that day and some residual smoke from the Anaheim Hills fire, it was difficult to get a new PR at this meet, although sophomore Chris Lynn managed to get his second PR in a row.

The Bell Gardens Invitational took place at Cerritos Park in Cerritos on October 14. Junior Aaron Dominguez, with a time of 15:54, once again was Bosco’s top runner, as he has been in every race he has run this season. He earned a medal by finishing in tenth place out of 251 junior runners. Senior Sidney Herrera, for the second time in a row, was our second fastest (16:59). Our sophomores did very well: Casey Reynolds (17:26), Oscar Cendejas (17:50), and Joey Rivas (17:58) had the 3rd, 4th, and 5th best Bosco times. This is the first time in the last five years that three sophomores have finished in the 17s in a race. Casey had a 46 second PR and became the 3rd fastest sophomore in the last five years, and earned himself another medal. Oscar’s 8 second PR made him the 5th fastest sophomore in the last five years. Freshman Joseph Perez did well in his race and won another medal (his third so far as a freshman). Seven runners had a new PR at this meet, by as much as 89 seconds (junior Matthew Salazar).

Hopefully our team will have even better results in our final two meets of the season: The Apache Invitational in Arcadia on October 27, and the league finals at the Santa Fe Dam on November 1.
