Serving as Don Bosco’s Student Government President gave me the opportunity to hone my leadership and public speaking skills. This fall, I will be attending Catholic University. While I am going to miss the tight-knit DBCR community, I feel confident selfadvocating, building connections, and making a name for myself in college.”

FAITH
YOU
BROUGHT STUDENTS CLOSER TO GOD
I really value being a member of the Youth Ministry team. I want to give a big thank you to Fr. John Serio and his fellow Salesian priests; they have been guiding me both spiritually and mentally. The faculty and staff at Don Bosco always help me rise when I’m not at my best."

YOU
MAKE DON BOSCO FEEL LIKE HOME
FAMILY I will always remember the teachers who helped me along the way, like Ms. Taravella (Corporate Work Study Employment Specialist). The pandemic was really rough for me and I talked to Ms. Taravella every day. I always know there’s somebody who cares for me. Every student at DBCR has one person they can go to.”

FUTURE
YOU
ARE BUILDING THE WORKFORCE OF TOMORROW
Over the course of 10 years, the Catholic Schools Office has worked with so many amazing Don Bosco students. This year was particularly meaningful. Isaac Flores Trujillo '22 began with us as a freshman and worked here all 4 years. Watching him succeed from start to finish put a beautiful blue ribbon on this year." - Michelle Lawyer Office Manager Catholic Schools Office
Regional Supervisor of the Year '22
YOU
FUN
RAISED STUDENT SPIRITS
After COVID canceled sports my freshman year, I was so excited to finally play. I was on Don Bosco’s soccer and basketball teams. A major highlight was definitely our last basketball game at the St. Anselm’s Invitational. It was the most fun— we were so competitive! I can’t wait for next year!"
