About the Once A Mustang Monument
In 2013, work began on a monument which would welcome all visitors to the Salesian campus and reflect the spirit of all alumni. The monument is a gift to Salesian High School on behalf of every graduating class since 1962. Renowned sculptor and Salesian alumnus, Dan Medina '86, has created the stunning 18' monument which will be installed on the school's plaza level.
The costs associated with creating and installing the Mustang Monument were set at approximately $90,000 when the project first began in 2013. This includes all materials and construction costs associated with the project. Artist Dan Medina has donated all of his time and energy toward this project. As of March 15, 2024, $65,096 has been raised toward the project. As was the original intent, all donations that exceed the costs associated with this project, including plaques purchased after the installation date, will be used for the school's student scholarship program.
