By Karen Krynen, Director of Communications

(Rosemead, California) – Don Bosco Technical Institute (Bosco Tech) will host Open House for prospective students—male and female—on Sunday, November 16. After 70 years as an all-boys school, Bosco Tech is transitioning to co-education. Starting in Fall 2026, its unique college-preparatory curriculum in pre-engineering and applied science will be available to both young men and women.

“We’re thrilled to expand our educational mission by offering this respected, proven program to female students as well,” said Tech President Memo Gutierrez, a Tech alumnus. “In a timely and appropriate move, our unparalleled, fully equipped laboratories, knowledgeable instruction, and university-level curriculum will now be available to a far wider audience, reflective of current and future tech-driven workplaces.”

Elementary and middle school students and their families are invited to learn about the school’s college-prep academics, advanced technology majors, internship opportunities, and individualized college planning programs. Running from 12 noon to 4 p.m., Open House will feature two brief welcome sessions at 12:15 and 2:00 p.m. providing descriptions of the Tech’s unique programs, and on-going campus tours will spotlight the six applied-science technology majors:

– Architecture & Construction Engineering (ACE)
– Biological, Medical & Environmental Technology (BMET)
– Computer Science & Electrical Engineering (CSEE)
– Integrated Design, Engineering and Art (IDEA)
– Media Arts & Technology (MAT)
– Materials Science, Engineering & Technology (MSET) 

“Open House is the perfect opportunity for all interested students to experience everything Bosco Tech has to offer,” Gutierrez continued. “They’ll see first-hand how the school has earned its reputation as a premier college-preparatory high school that places graduates in top universities across the country.”
