Don Bosco Technical Institute in Victorias City, Philippines, also known as Don Bosco Victorias is a co-educational Catholic high school and grade school combining college-preparatory academic courses and technical education. Before going on to Grade 9, the student must choose from three technology courses to continue with throughout the next two years. Students can graduate in four years with a high school diploma and a certificate indicating the technology course taken.

Don Bosco Technical Institute-Victorias offers extracurricular activities, as well as sports. The sports program includes football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, taekwondo and track and field. Extracurricular activities include the student government, the Unifying Circle of Don Bosco (UCDB), the school ministry, the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM), the school paper, the Excelsior and academic clubs. The school also requires the senior students to have their Citizens Advancement Training (CAT). The school is rooted on Catholic values.

History

The first Salesian educational institution, Don Bosco Technical Institute (DBTI), was founded in 1951 in Victorias, Negros Occidental. A second institution, the St. John Bosco Academy, was established in 1951 in Tarlac, Tarlac, and was followed by other Don Bosco schools in Mandaluyong (1953), Cebu (1954), Makati (1954) and eventually Pampanga (1956). Most people say that St. John Bosco Academy was the first Salesian establishment but actually, the first group of Salesians, led by Rev. Fr. Guido D'Amore took residence in DBTI, Victorias City, and not in Tarlac. However, months after the establishment of DBTI, St. John Academy was also established. This has caused the confusion since both schools were established on the same year.

The school was purposely intended to provide technical education for the sons of Victorias Milling Company (VMC) employees. However, as years passed by, the school decided to accept boys outside of VMC.

It was named after the founder of the Salesian Society, Saint John Bosco, who was a 19th-century Italian priest who established technical schools to give boys the skills they need to be craftsmen and leaders. His dream was to establish schools to mold young people into faithful Christians and honest citizens.

In January and February 2007, DBTI Victorias celebrated Don Bosco Day in honor of St. John Bosco, whose feast day is January 31. The theme was "For Life" in response to the Rector Major's 2007 Strenna, "Let us be guided by God's love for life."

In February 2 to February 4, 2007 it hosted the Regional Boscolympics, participated by Don Bosco Technical Institute-Victorias, Don Bosco Technology Center (Cebu), St. Louis School-Don Bosco (Dumaguete), and Don Bosco Boy's Home Lilo-an (Cebu).
