  • Andres Gonzalez '24, University of Chicago

    The journey you will take during your time at Salesianum helps you express who you are while also making lifelong friends with those around you. Although a student is only at Salesianum for a couple of years, the brotherhood they become part of stays with them for the rest of their lives.

  • Frank Holodick '24, University of Delaware

    My time at Salesianum was completely transformative. I've taken college classes on topics I didn't even know existed, traveled to two foreign countries on BRIDGE trips, went on retreats that expanded my faith, and was given a second family of brothers and mentors that will last far beyond high school.

Visit the school where young men want to stay after class.
