Don Bosco is a great High School for athletics. The best part about it is the support you see from the community in everything you do. I would like to see some change in administration, such as being more open to change when things aren’t working out.
My time at Don Bosco has been something special and it is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Don Bosco is such a small school that you have a very good relationship with almost all of your classmates. With Don Bosco being so small it has that feeling of a family because we are with each other all day every day during the school year. The experiences I have had at Don Bosco is something special that will stick with me for the rest of my life.
At Don Bosco high school, I enjoyed the relationships students can have with each other. Being such a small school, it is easy to know every student. Don Bosco is very focused on athletics and it would be nice to see more focus on the fine arts and campus ministry programs. It would also be nice to see more student-teacher relationships. It seems as if the students are afraid of the teachers and just trying to get through the day instead of having an understanding of each other.
I enjoy that it is a small school so you can know every student. The athletic programs are very good but the music and drama programs aren’t focused on as much. I would like to see more involvement in other programs and I would also like to see better behavior in many of the students.
I absolutely loved attending Don Bosco. I was faced with so many opportunities to get involved in the classroom, on the court or field and volunteer at local events. The school pushed me to excel in my academics and strive to deliver the best results. I wouldn't be where I am today without the caring teachers, excellent community and overall education.
Wonderful tight knit community. They are all involved and invested in the student body. The student outlook is very positive and they look out for each other. Academics and sports are both very important. We had Football Champions, Wrestling Champions and 3rd place Basketball teams this year.
I think the education I received from Don Bosco was great in most cases, but lacking in a couple areas. It can be hard attending such a small school, because you don't necessarily get to chose your friends. This was difficult for me because at times I was bullied. Even though I was bullied, I was able to get through it. Don Bosco has given me many opportunities that I don't think I would receive otherwise. I have been able to travel to multiple states to volunteer my time and talents to help others. I have also been able to be involved in multiple activities in my school and church. Overall there are some downfalls of going to such a small school, but in the end it was well worth it.
This was a very good school. The teachers cared very much about their students success. The community around the school is top notch.
All the extracurricular activities are either before school, during or after. For example, Student Council and Yearbook will have meetings at least once a week in the mornings before school starts. Band and choir are during school. I would say Yearbook is probably one of the fun activities. I am not in yearbook, but from what people say it is fun.
The teachers at this school always want to help us students, especially the students that are struggling more. They are all very knowledgeable with what they are teaching. Sometimes grades go in a little slow, but they have a lot of other classes homework and tests to grade so it is understandable. Most of the teachers here always get a long with the students. Some are always happy to have us in class because we won't cause much trouble.
We are very good and hard working at everything. Our band is great and so are all of our sports. We all work hard and get what we deserve. Almost everyone is involved in something, which makes everything popular. Our participation numbers are awesome because everyone feels welcome to try something even if they don't feel comfortable doing it.
This school is great. Everyone is involved in everything and help each other get better at everything, sports and academics. We push each other to be better people and the community sport is amazing. Everyone wants everyone to succeed and everyone supports one another.
The teachers always make sure you understand something. They don't move on from something until they have taught it well and everyone knows it. They prepare us for tests and help us study. They are always available if we have problems and can always be contacted in a friendly manner.
This school is very tight. We all know each other, so it makes it easy to get along or know most everyone. I would probably still go to this school, but somethings could change.
Teachers at this school are very helpful. They are willing to help if you come to them for it.
Things are pretty safe here
i have learned a lot and they bring my faith into my everyday life
