D.B. Technical High School

D.B. Technical High School is a location in the Theater District of Boston in 2287. It is east of Wilson Atomatoys corporate HQ and south of the Combat Zone.
==Layout==
The building has three levels, including the basement, first floor, and second floor, with raiders filling the halls and rooms. There are also a few traps, such as bottlecap mines and machinegun turrets. The basement in particular holds quite a bit of notable loot, and is the home of the raider boss Bosco.
In the basement, to the east of the swimming pool room is a metallic door that connects to the generator room in Medical Center metro. There is a barred pair of rooms (one door is barred, the other is chained) on the first floor near the main entrance that can be accessed by falling through a hole in the floor on the second floor. It is also possible to shoot the bar on the back of the barred door through an opening in the wall just past the chained door on the right when approaching from the main entrance. Inside the western room is an Advanced-locked safe and a Novice-locked ammo box. The roof features a few remaining raiders and an explosives box on a fire escape on the eastern side.

==Notes==
* The beast that Bosco's terminal mentions ("I see it, hiding in the dark. Catch its one cold eye, watching. It just stares, lying. Waiting.") is just the school's bear mascot head. At some point, after killing several of his men while suffering from rabies delusions, Bosco dons the mask.
* Bosco and all the raiders will respawn after some time; however, he doesn't respawn with another mascot head, making it unable to be obtained more than once.
* There is a respawning machinegun turret behind the school.
* There is a book return terminal on the first floor, in the library.
* There are three wooden blocks in the basement, which are arranged to spell "FUN."
* There are three wooden blocks on the second floor, which are arranged to spell "DIE."
* When at this location, companions make comments, which are activated at the basement swimming pool, where Bosco is found.

==Appearances==
D.B. Technical High School appears only in Fallout 4.
==Behind the scenes==
* D.B. Technical High School is based on Don Bosco Technical High School, a now-defunct school attended by lead designer Emil Pagliarulo.The History of Bethesda Game Studios The sports team's colors and name are directly taken from the school, while the location's raider boss, Bosco, is named after it. Although no subtitles are displayed for it in-game, the location's PA system includes a voice line that mentions "Vice Principal Cavanaugh," who is referred to as "Vice Principal Pagliarulo" in the actual dialogue text.
* The student announcer, heard over the loudspeaker at the school, is voiced by one of lead designer Emil Pagliarulo's children in an uncredited role. Each of Pagliarulo's four children voiced a different character in Fallout 4.Emil Pagliarulo on Twitter: "I'm getting a kick out of these little trivia breaks! Here's another. In Fallout 4, each of my 4 kids voices a character - the student announcer in DB Tech, Sheng Kowalski in Diamond City, Piper's little sister Nat, and Billy, the ghoul "Kid in the Fridge."" The voice of the announcer is also the same teenager who voiced Aventus Aretino in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.Emil Pagliarulo on Twitter: "Hahahaha different kids. The one who played Aventus was the voice of the bored teenager doing the old high school announcements in DB Tech!"
* The logo for D.B. Technical's sports team, the Bears, is a slightly-modified version of the Stormcloak insignia from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The only notable differences are coloration (from blue and black to yellow and green) and the removal of the swirl beneath the bear's eye.
* The banners above the baseball equipment seem to reference Boston Red Sox World Series appearances up until 2004, with wins having dark backgrounds and losses having red. 1986 appears to be repeated and 1975 omitted.

 Killing Bosco does not yield XP, despite the fact that he is a leveled opponent (player level x 1.2).
