"The Profile of the graduate describes the student at the point of exit from the school. It states the values, achievements and readiness that each student will manifest upon graduation. The Graduate profile could be considered a combination of a Bill of Rights and set of corresponding responsibilities for student, faculty, staff and administration. In other words, if the Mission is operative and appropriately translated into programs and services, the Profile defines the outcomes each and every student will attain. The Profile also recognizes that the student at graduation is in transition from an adolescent world to an adult one and that many aspects of development are still in process."

Upon graduation, through the teachings of Saint Francis de Sales and the guidance of faculty, staff and administration, a graduate of Salesianum will:

Live with a mind open to learning and growth.“Each day we must begin again with renewed energy.” (Letter of Saint Francis de Sales, no. 1049)
Value service to each other, the community, and the world.“Go to society and meet your neighbor with a joyful heart and look at your neighbor lovingly.” (Introduction to the Devout Life, 3.24)
Value the brotherhood that unites Salesian gentlemen.“We have no bond but the bond of love, which is the bond of perfection.” (The Spiritual Directory, quoting Colossians 3:14)
Contribute positively to society – be gentle, selfless, caring, kind and a role model for all to follow.“Examine your heart often to see if it is such toward your neighbor as you would his to be toward you were you in his place.” (Introduction to the Devout Life, 3.36)
