January 2020
Welcome to 2020! Another year has come and gone and we now stand at the threshold of a new year and a new decade. We give thanks for what has been and we pray for the grace to face the possibilities ahead. At Salesian, the new year also ushers in the start of a new semester. The faculty and staff gathered before the students returned to spend a day at St. Anthony's in the Tenderloin to serve food and help with clothing donations for the poor. The school hosted our 55th annual Crab Feed over MLK weekend. Our basketball and soccer teams are hard at work. Various clubs and organizations are having fundraising events as well. The student leaders are preparing for Don Bosco Week at the end of January. Fr. Ted Montemayor, the Provincial of the Salesians, will join us to preside at our Don Bosco Mass on January 30. School life is indeed vibrant and there is much to be thankful for as the new year begins. May this new semester, new year, and new decade be filled with abundant blessings!

Salesian Decade Challenge
Salesian has made many great improvements over the last ten years to modernize our historic campus and enhance the student experience. Salesian's "Dream. Believe. Succeed." capital campaign (2013-2018) supported the third-floor renovation that included the addition of an elevator. Four STEM classrooms (Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Computer Science) were renovated on the third floor to provide students with the latest classroom essentials and lab equipment. To compliment our modernized classrooms, the first floor was upgraded and carpeted in August 2019. Lastly, before the decade timed out, the fourth floor storage room was converted into a ceramics room, fitted with a kiln.
To honor the success of our student-athletes, with the help of generous donors, Salesian has upgraded multiple athletic facilities. The weight room was updated in 2016 with six lifting platforms with racks and benches. These improvements make training at Salesian more accessible and safe. The gym was converted into The Den in 2015 with a redesigned floor and padding added to the walls. The addition of black padding improves home-court advantage. Lastly, brand new tennis courts were opened in 2010 allowing Salesian to once again host matches.
