The Gear--May 2025

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

SENIORS NOMINATED FOR TECH AWARD

SCHOOL FOUNDER’S AWARD NOMINEES NAMED

Six outstanding seniors have been nominated for Bosco Tech’s Cardinal James McIntyre Award. Given in honor of the founder of the Tech, the award is annually bestowed upon a senior who, in the eyes of the technology faculty, has taken the greatest advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the school. The recipient of this award has demonstrated unwavering commitment and excellence in his technological studies, and involvement in the community, while also excelling in their academic studies.

This award encompasses many aspects of a student’s life and reflects the notion that it is through growth and development as a whole person that an individual sets himself apart and pursues a path through life that will lead to spiritual, personal and professional success. The award acknowledges a student’s conviction in all these areas.
