From Salesianum School

Salesianum is a brotherhood of faith and learning committed to educating the minds and hearts of students. As Salesian gentlemen, our students are not passive learners but part of a living tradition, a legacy that builds on the optimism and tenacity of three Oblate priests who arrived from France in 1903 to establish Salesianum with just twelve students. Their courageous spirit is reflected in our school motto, Tenui Nec Dimittam: I have taken hold and will not let go. We strive daily to continue to honor the example of those who have gone before us at Salesianum and inspire our students to build a stronger brotherhood and a better world.
