Message From Our President
It’s hard to believe my first school year is coming to an end.

Congratulations to the Class of 2022! Navigating high school during a global pandemic wasn’t easy, but this special class persevered. Please join me in wishing our newest alumni all the best on their next journey! 

The rest of the student body is taking final exams this week—finish strong Wolfpack!

I’ve said it before, but Don Bosco students are the best! I know I’m going to miss their energy and enthusiasm this summer.

Alumni Highlight
Ada Gonzalez
DBCR, Class of '18
Loyola University of Maryland, Class of '22
Hello everyone! My name is Ada Gonzales and I'm a Don Bosco Alumni. While at Don Bosco, I worked at Latham & Watkins, and Gleason Flynn Emig & Fogleman. My senior year, I was placed at Georgetown University's Office of Missions and Ministry office. I have to say, working at Georgetown gave me the perfect opportunity to get a feel for the college experience.

After graduating from Don Bosco, I attended Loyola University of Maryland, where I was a Theology major and a Latin American & Latino Studies minor. At Loyola, I was heavily involved! I was a member of the Center for Community, Service and Justice and the Loyola's Green and Gray Society; a select group of students who serve as advisors to the university's committee.

A few days after my Loyola graduation, I had the honor of serving as the commencement speaker for the Don Bosco Class of 2022. It felt great to be back at the National Shrine after being unable to celebrate together over the last couple of years. I enjoyed being present at graduation and celebrating the Class of 2022's accomplishments- especially because I mentored them during their Bridge to Success in 2018!

This fall, I'm excited to return to Loyola to pursue my master's in Theological Studies.
