As a response to the teachings of Christ and inspired by St. John Bosco, Don Bosco Tech is committed to serving the youth of Los Angeles with the preference for the poor, needy and troubled.
Following the Salesian tradition, Don Bosco Tech is an oratory -- emphasizing the Preventive System and the interactive principles of Reason, Religion and Kindness.
The mission of Don Bosco Tech is to form a critical thinker who is technically proficient and academically capable. Don Bosco Tech develops people who are spiritually aware and value life-long learning, leadership and service.
Don Bosco Technical Institute is an all-male high school in Rosemead, California, combining college-preparatory academic courses and technological education (technology programs are listed below). Students select four quarter-long technology courses to take during their Freshman year in the high school program, and at the end of that year, they select one of those four to continue with throughout the next three years. Students can graduate in four years with a high school diploma.
Bosco Tech offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities as well as sports. Although the school may be based on Catholic values, it is entirely interdenominational; students of any faith or religious persuasion may attend.
The school is located in the San Gabriel Valley, 10 miles (16 km) east of downtown Los Angeles, just north of the Pomona Freeway (SR 60) in the city of Rosemead, California. It occupies approximately thirty acres.
A nearly 5 million dollar effort to upgrade and create athletic facilities for the athletes at Bosco Tech was recently completed. Also, new academic buildings are planned to be constructed within the school, providing high-tech classrooms for the teachers and students. The new buildings will enable every teacher in the school to have their own room. The start and completion of the buildings are TBD.
Guided by the teachings of St. John Bosco and of the Catholic Church, Don Bosco Technical Institute offers a demanding college-prep high school curriculum supplemented by rigorous study of key technologies. The school develops young men of all faiths who are well prepared for college, well-positioned for career success in a technologically focused world, and motivated to lead lives of distinguished service.
Don Bosco Technical Institute began in 1955, with the help of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the Salesian Society, and the industrial leaders of the Greater Los Angeles Area.
