The school's 59th freshman class in its history is one of its most diverse classes ever, with 63 different middle schools represented.

Sculptor and distinguished alumnus Dan Medina '86 has designed a beautiful 15-foot Mustang monument for Salesian High School and is ready for the completion of this project at the end of this school year. We are a third of the way to our fundraising goal for this project and your help is greatly appreciated. All graduating classes have been charged with raising $1,500 in order to complete this project.

The Mustang monument will be displayed prominently in the school's plaza level and any money raised in excess of building costs will go toward the school's financial aid fund.

On February 23rd, students from AP Literature & Composition and Honors Literature/Composition II attended a matinee viewing of Luis Valdez's legendary play "Zoot Suit". Both classes read Valdez's play and now had the opportunity to see it performed at the Mark Taper Forum. Following the performance, the students met with cast members to discuss the relevance of Valdez's themes and characters. Salesian students inquired about the play's message and emphasized how Valdez's work transcends generations. Overall, it was a great chance for these students to learn about Los Angeles history and community pride.
