Message From Our President
Happy new year! I hope this note finds you and your loved ones healthy.

Despite being virtual for the first two weeks, I am delighted to report our case counts were significantly lower this past week and we are now back on campus. We are all very excited!

More good news: 79% of our seniors have been accepted to a college or university already. We are off to a great start! We will keep you updated.

Student Highlights
Students Meet Author Victor Villaseñor
Don Bosco's 11th grade Honors American Literature class spent an hour talking to Victor Villaseñor, the author of Rain of Gold. Under the tutelage of their English teacher Emily McSwain, the class reached out in hopes of asking some questions on the book they were reading for class. Villaseñor responded and suggested a video call with the class, to their pleasant surprise. Here, students were given an opportunity to hear the authors' inspiration and the answers to their questions. 
Corporate Work Study Partner Highlight
Alumni Highlight
On Wednesday, January 12, seniors and juniors met with alumni for the Annual Alumni Panel. This annual tradition has survived the pandemic and was held virtually, providing our upperclassmen an outlet to interact with alumni. With over 100 participants on the call, students had an opportunity to ask alumni about their college experiences and discuss where they are now in their journey.
