Your child now takes their place alongside over 7,000 proud Salesian alumni across the nation and around the world that have been shaped by the charism of St. John Bosco. We are excited to begin this journey with your family as we move through the next four years with your son or daughter.

Our goal is to first and foremost challenge your child academically with a rigorous college preparatory curriculum. Our skilled guidance counselors will help your child navigate through the selection of courses based on college requirements. Our trained personal counselors will be there to provide for the emotional needs of your child. Our co-curricular program will introduce students to a variety of clubs and activities that will enable your child to meet new friends and become an integral member of the Salesian community. Our Campus Ministry program will provide service learning opportunities and cultivate the spiritual soul of your son or daughter.

We look forward to working with your son or daughter along the pathway of their educational journey through high school. We also look forward to working with each of you as active participants in the Salesian community. We invite you to ‘catch the Salesian spirit’ and embrace our academics, faith, and family.

Sincerely,

Welcome to the Salesian family! Your child is about to embark on their journey to become a Salesian for life — we are in this together now! We genuinely care about each and every one of our students. You will find that our faculty, staff and administration will make themselves present with our students throughout their high school journey. We are a family, rich with diversity.

Many gr eat things are happening here on campus. Our students have begun to enjoy fascinating experiments in our new third-floor STEM classrooms. Our elevator is now finished increasing accessibility to our building and its three floors. We have many improvements on the drawing board; some that will be seen and some that will improve our infrastructure.

In August you will receive a letter from me asking you to contribute what you can to our Annual Fund to support curriculum delivery and programs that help your student thrive.

The mission of St. John Bosco, and now ours together, is to educate the children of the local community with reason, religion and loving kindness. Under the charism of St. John Bosco, and with your help, we can provide your student with the college preparatory education and the oratory experience you desire -- home, school, church, and playground.

I look f orward to meeting your student and your family. Let the Salesian journey begin!

In the Spirit of Don Bosco,

Stephen Pezzola ’74 President
