| On a plaque at the
right of the Entrance to our
school is an important quote from St.
John Bosco, "Education is a matter of the heart." |
During the summer of
2005, the brick school building was pointed. Along with new
windows, the exterior of the building is like new. |
 |
  |
| The Chapel is the heart of the school
and the home of the Master Teacher of Salesian High School. On
either side of the altar are newly dedicated statues of St. John Bosco and Don Bosco's
Madonna, Mary Help of Christians. |

| Opened in the Spring
of 2006, the new Salesian High School
Library and Conference Center is
dedicated to St. Luigi Versiglia, a Salesian missionary bishop martyred
in China in 1930. Bishop Versiglia was once assigned to Salesian
High School and dedicated the school's chapel in 1929. The
library's card catalog is fully automated and its holdings also
includes an
excellent collection of online
databases. The library space features 24 computers for
student
use. A projector screen can be lowered from the ceiling and
images and videos from a computer and VCR/DVD player can be shown. |

 |
| Two new classrooms were created for the 2006-2007 school year to make room for increased enrollment. Both classrooms are equipped with Smart® Boards. Currently Freshman English and Freshman Religion meet in these rooms. Both teachers make extensive use of the Smart® Board technology. | |
 |
 |
| "AM Salesian" TV Studio.
During the summer of 2008, the students' TV studio was upgraded with a
new computer system. The prayer at the start of the school day,
daily announcements, Channel One, and student produced programming is
transmitted to all classrooms every day. |
Renovation of the 3rd Floor Classrooms.
During
the
summer
of
2008, all of the 3rd floor classrooms were
renovated with new flooring, ceilings, lighting, and Smart® Boards. This brings the
number of classrooms with Smart® Boards to a total of eighteen. |
 |
 |
| Gilder
Lehrman Institute of American History Resource Room. This
computer lab is used for the Computer Architecture senior elective
class but is mostly available all day for teachers to use with their
classes. |
Freshman Computer Lab. This computer lab is used primarily for the Freshman Computer Literacy and the Freshman Writing classes. Both computer labs were moved and upgraded during the 2007 renovations. |
| Academic Areas | |
 |
 |
| As part of the summer of 2007
renovations, the Art Room was
moved and expanded. Shown at the front of the studio is a new
iMac computer on which students practice computer graphics skills. |
The
Guidance Suite was
remodeled for the 2006-2007 school year. It includes offices for
the four guidance counselors, the guidance secretary, and computers for
student use. |
 |
 |
| The School Lobby, shown above
left, was refurbished for the 2006-2007 school year. Also
remodeled were the Administrative
Suites, shown above
right. On the walls of the
administrative suite are the school seal and a plaque dedicated to all
of the Salesian High School graduates who were awarded the Silver Eagle
medal at graduation. The Silver Eagle is the most prestigious
award a graduating senior can receive. |
|
 |
 |
| The
new
Biology Lab for freshmen,
at right above, and the Chemistry Lab
for sophomores, left above, opened in September 2005. Carved out
of space that was once the residence for the Salesian priests and
brothers on staff, these labs both add needed classroom space and
give students the best equipment for science education. The Physics Lab, below left, was
renovated in early 2007. Shown below at right, the entire 4th Floor was renovated during the
summer of 2007. All of the classrooms were redone, lighting
replaced, and lockers repaired and painted. |

| Gymnasium and Fields | |
 |
 |
| The
Salesian High gym, or "Eagle's Nest,"
is home to many of the Salesian High championship teams, as well as the
stage of the Salesian Players
and the Salesian
High
Band.
Our gym has also recently been the location for the filming of music
videos and TV commercials. Fallout Boy filmed a video in the
summer of 2005 with many Salesian High students as extras. Salesian
High
is
building
a new
gymnasium. Click here to see
pictures of the gym's progress.

| Behind
the
gymnasium
is
the
Pool and Picnic Area.
Pictured above, the pool is drained and winterized, but the picnic area
still looks inviting. |
The
Salesian High Baseball Field,
shared with Iona College, is at the eastern most section of the campus,
directly on the Long Island Sound. |
