Paterson Don Bosco Technical Academy has a New Name!

The new school name is the:

JOSEPH A. TAUB SCHOOL 

"TOGETHER WE CAN AND TOGETHER WE WILL"

"The new middle school being built on Union Avenue will be named after the late philanthropist Joseph Taub, whose foundation has funded youth basketball and other programs in Paterson for decades.   LINK

"DTBA is committed to educating not only our students' minds! Our teachers also educate the students' characters. The Kindness Project was adopted as an initiative to build strong positive character traits. The leaves of our Kindness Tree are hearts, colored coordinated to which grade is in and has been "caught being kind." Acts of kindness are aligned to one of the Six Pillars of Character. Special thanks to Mrs. Kaminski for creating and painting such a lovely tree. We here at DBTA cannot wait to see our budding tree bloom with Kindness! " LINK
