Salesian College Preparatory is a coeducational Roman Catholic college preparatory high school in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland, in Richmond, California, United States. The school's patron saint is Saint John Bosco, the Italian founder of the Salesian order. The school's motto is "loyalty, excellence."
The campus is situated on 21 acres, in the Richmond, California North & East neighborhood that straddles the city limits of San Pablo, about eighteen miles (29 km) from San Francisco.
For many years the school's mascot was the Chieftain. The imagery associated with the nickname was a Native American wearing a feather headdress. The mascot came under repeated scrutiny since at least 1995. The topic garnered media attention and it was reported that it was found to be "racist" and "offensive" by administrators and members of the public. In 2006, the school changed the mascot to the "Pride."
