Buck-A-Year Campaign
Greetings from the Don Bosco Development Office. The schools are again continuing the "Buck a Year" program. Here is how it works: Contribute one dollar for each year since you began your Catholic High School education to the present. (Ex. a person who started school in 1982 would contribute $25.) The amount is modest, but when combined with a group of over 2700 alumni, we can look ahead and be prepared for the exciting years of the 21st century.
Your gift will become part of the schools endowment fund which provides interest income which is used to:
Offset rising tuition
Offer tuition assistance
Retain quality teachers
Provide new instructional and educational equipment
Provide an on-going resource for the upgrading of the educational programs
Please join with all those who have already made commitments to "Continuing the Gift of Education for a Brighter Future".
To find out how YOU can help support our school please contact:

In the history of Don Bosco High School parish assessment and tuition have provided money for our day-to-day expenses. Capital fund drives to erect the building, and additions provide the structure we have today. Parents, friends, alumni met the challenges and sacrifices of their time. Now the FUTURE is OURS.
In the late 70's Don Bosco faced financial uncertainty but the John Deere Matching Fund helped to brighten our future. When the Matching Fund Program ceased, parishes and parents were faced with increased assessments and increased tuition.
While the present expenses are being met, Don Bosco High School needed to establish and provide a more definite financial base to assist parents, parishes and the community in continuing to provide a strong Catholic high school educational program.
Don Bosco Development Program was created to provide a financial resource (principal) on which money earned (interest) will be available to help meet increasing costs.
The Don Bosco Development Program is OUR gift for a Brighter Future. While we will call upon and need the assistance of those who have in the past provided us what we now also have, we look to all those who have benefited over the years to help us now in establishing a BRIGHTER FUTURE.
Contributions to the Development Fund are sent to Don Bosco in care of Development Office. Donations are acknowledged with a short note. Pledges are acknowledged with a yearly statement.
