Oh, what a night! We're still celebrating our 15th Anniversary Scholarship Celebration. It was an evening full of Faith, Family, Future and certainly Fun!
It was wonderful to celebrate all that Don Bosco Cristo Rey
has done in the school's first 15 years and look forward to what's next.
Thank you to all of our speakers, student ambassadors, faculty & staff, sponsors, job partners, board members, and long-time & new friends for joining us. It was a celebration that will carry us throughout this 15th Anniversary Year!
Now, it is Homecoming Week! We have started off with Pajama Day on Monday and Twin Day on Tuesday! Today is Throw Back Wednesday!
It has been fun to see students show up in school spirit -- we are eager to see
more great outfits as Homecoming Week continues.
The Homecoming Dance and the inaugural Cristo Rey Cup are this Saturday,
We are SO excited! We hope you can join us!
Go Wolfpack!

Hello everyone! I'm Emily Rodriguez and I graduated from Don Bosco back in 2015.
When I first walked into DBCR, I realized that it was a very small school, and while that scared me, it was also a relief. I still remember the first day at my work study job, I was terrified, but I quickly got comfortable and grew from there. I learned how to balance work and school and navigate life in a professional work setting. At Don Bosco, I was a member of the National Honor Society, Prom Committee, and Youth Ministry. Senior year, I received 13 colleges acceptances and decided to attend the University of Maryland, College Park.
During my time at DBCR and the Corporate Work Study program, I was a student worker at Baker Botts LLP, a global law firm. I developed a fantastic relationship with my manager, during high school and college she even hired me to work over the summers!
I attended the University of Maryland, College Park, where I majored in Public Relations and minored in US Latino Studies. I was part of a program called Partners and Print, which is now called Maryland Mentors Corps. We would give Spanish and English-speaking parents workshops at PG County Title I elementary schools. The workshops were based on how to prepare for college, how parents can help their kids with homework and how to advocate for their kids and themselves.
About 2.5 years after joining Baker Botts as a full-time employee, I was recruited to join McDermott Will & Emery, as a Senior Information Governance Analyst. Thirteen months after that, I was recruited to join Freddie Mac, where I am currently an Information Risk Governance Senior Analyst for the Investments and Capital Markets division!
Go Wolfpack!

Corporate Work Study Highlight |
|
This month, we are celebrating Freshman Genesis Echeverria, who was offered a part-time job from her current student corporate work placement, Jim Coleman Auto Group!
Anyone who knows Genesis notes her many talents, her kind heart, and her maturity – all characteristics that her supervisors at Jim Coleman Auto Group quickly recognized.
After working at Jim Coleman for only three weeks, the company offered her a part-time job on the weekends! Genesis does a bit of everything at the dealership. She files new license plates, takes customer calls, gathers office supplies, prints documents, and delivers the mail. She enjoys her work tasks, the calm environment, and the mentorship from her supervisors.
The most important thing Genesis has learned from her time at Jim Coleman has been communication skills, and more specifically, how to interact with difficult customers in a professional manner. Congrats to Genesis and to Jim Coleman Auto - you have a great new employee!
"Genesis has been a great addition to our Jim Coleman team. She is a very
motivated individual with a "can-do" attitude. We cannot wait to see what
she accomplishes in her bright future"
-Sana Hasan, Jim Coleman Auto Group
