Message From Our President
Summer is here, and although it’s the best time to relax, we're busier than ever!
 
Our staff is busy!
At school we are preparing to greet our freshmen next week
for our Summer Bridge Program.
Some of our faculty and staff are participating in
continuing education (read more below!),
and the rest of us are getting ready for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year!
 
Our students are busy, too!
We have students participating in summer programs all over the country at
Johns Hopkins University, Xavier University, and Howard University, to name a few in fields of medicine, journalism, and STEM.
We have students traveling and studying abroad!
We have students completing internships and gaining valuable work experience
(see more below about students working this summer at one of our job partners!)
We have students participating in sports programs – including one student
who was invited to play this summer on Loudoun United,
an official affiliate of D.C. United. Wow!

Wishing you a happy summer and safe travels!
Mark K. Shriver

Alumni Highlight
Domota Byrd
DBCR '18
Hood College '22
Hello everyone! I'm Domota Byrd and I'm the new Development Assistant at
Don Bosco Cristo Rey. I'm also an Alumni, go Class of 2018!!

As a student worker, I was placed at Medstar (Georgetown University Hospital) and Geppetto Catering, where I gained various hard and soft skills- from learning how to draw blood to perfecting my professional communications. Those experiences helped me secure interviews at the top non-profits in Frederick, Maryland.  

While at DBCR, I was involved in many different activities from Volleyball to The Newspaper Club to Student Government. During my senior year, I applied to more than 15 Colleges, and I ultimately chose Hood College in Frederick, Maryland. Hood felt similar to Don Bosco because of it's size and strong sense of community. In college, I was just as involved as I was in High School. I served as President of the Black Student Union for 3 years and worked for Resident's Life and Admissions.  

I graduated from Hood College on May 21st, 2022, with a degree in Political Science with a Minor in Non-Profit & Civic Engagement. The very week, I started my first post-grad job. I took my talents and skills back to Don Bosco, where I work in Development and Events. Stop by campus and say hi!
