I am very blessed and fortunate to attend St. John Bosco High School. Here at bosco we focus on the 3 fundamentals; school, playground, church. There is something for everyone here at Bosco. I love all my brothers very much, and I have close connections to my teachers. The only complaint I have as an aquatics athlete is the lack of an updated pool. Other than that Bosco is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Overall, although this school has its flaws, I would say that I greatly enjoyed my time at Bosco. I made a ton of friends, got to know a lot of my teachers very well, and had fun at the events and games. It can definitely improve on some things, like organization of school activities, but I think this school is great otherwise.

I came from a public school and transferred to St. John Bosco during my sophomore year. The school atmosphere was a breath of fresh air. Teachers and staff have a true sense of care for the students that I didn't find at my previous school. I wasn't a very religious child, but St. John Bosco didn't...

My kid is about to start attending here. My Review is more of a Prayer Request. I am believing this is a great fit for my athletic son who we hope will be inspired to exell and work harder here than his last school. I don't know why there are no staff reviews of the school here, you would think a pr...

I would rate my experience at Bosco a 10-10. From the staff and faculty all the way down to the students, everyone brought a fun vibe to the campus. The morals and values that were instilled in us as students are still being applied to my everyday life. Sports are so much fun there at Bosco and the...
