Early history
When construction on Salesian High School began in 1958, there were speculation that the school would not be successful and would close quickly, but the community of Boyle Heights and the ASB (Association of Salesian Brothers) were determined to help this institution. Throughout the early years of activity its facilities served as a place where local elementary schools and the neighboring communities could hold events.
Academics Many students who have attended Salesian have claimed their lives were turned around, and praise Salesian for not giving up on them.[citation needed] With 89 percent of its graduates going on to college (though only 62 percent going on to a four-year college or university), Salesian is considered a premier Catholic high school in Boyle Heights/East L.A. Salesian is known for serving local public and private elementaries, and for its lauded Salesian Boys and Girls Club (a UC/CSU center of excellence), which helps young boys and girls in the community. Salesian also is known for their charitable event, "Project Santa", and for hosting several Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) athletic events. It is associated with two other southland ASB schools, including Don Bosco Technical Institute in Rosemead and St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower which all operate closely.
