The board was given a tour of the school and discussed ongoing projects, as well as the soon-to-be-completed Mustang Monument donated by alumnus, Dan Medina.
Board Members left with a proud feeling of being a part of such a great institution.
Once a Mustang always a Mustang.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to provide deserving young men with scholarships to complete their education at Salesian High School whereby they will benefit from a solid Christian education that is based on Morals, Values, and Ethics.
We are a non-profit organization founded in 2011 by a group of graduates from Salesian High School located in the heart of East Los Angeles. As a group, we decided that it is important to keep the memory of Father Murphy alive by promoting the character-building and Christian Salesian values that he instilled in us. He was a loving and caring priest always available during our times of trial and need. He helped us cope with the challenges of being teenagers and guided us through our adult situations. Aside from stressing the need for higher education, he made the point that it is always important to be responsible citizens and “Give Back to the Community”.
THANK YOU so much, for your support.
Don’t forget every third Saturday you’re invited to our monthly meeting. We meet at the Elks Lodge in Ontario, CA.

Salesian Father Ralph Murphy, who served various Salesian assignments in the Bay Area, died July 14 at age 87. He was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and moved with his family to California in 1935. He made his religious profession with the Salesians in 1946. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree at Don Bosco College in Newton, N.J., he was ordained a priest in 1956. He later graduated with a master’s degree in English at Dominican University in San Rafael. His first assignment after ordination was as dean of students of Salesian Junior Seminary, now Salesian High School. During the 1960s and 1970s, Father Murphy served at Salesian High School, and as director of the Salesian Boys Club, both in Los Angeles. From 1984 through 1989, he worked as the treasurer in Richmond, and through 1998 he was the treasurer at Don Bosco Hall in Berkeley. Afterward, he held different assignments at the provincial house in San Francisco. A year ago, he returned to Los Angeles, and for the last six months was cared for at Nazareth House in Los Angeles.
