Specific Giving

Tommy Thomason Scholarship Fund

 

Orville Glen "Tommy" Thomason was Loara's first principal, and his educational legacy and influence stretches over his 97-year life span.  Tommy was born on December 5, 1907 in Adrian, Missouri, then moved to LaVerne, California in 1918, where he starred in football, basketball, track and baseball at Bonita High School and La Verne College.  Tommy began his career as teacher and coach in Baldwin Park, Claremont and at his alma mater, Bonita High School.  Tommy's Christian principles called him into work with the YMCA, first in Hollywood and then Anaheim, where he served as General Director for six years.  In 1953, Tommy returned to education as an Administrator at Anaheim High School, Fremont and Crescent Junior High Schools.  His final position was at Loara High School, where he served as the first Principal from 1962 to 1973, when he retired. He died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, December 12, 2004.

 

In September 2017, the LSAA began accepting donations for the Tommy Thomason Scholarship Fund, and we have received numerous contributions.  Details with respect to scholarship requirements, validation of information, the scholarship amount, and the Application Form and deadline will be posted in the near future.   

 

You can donate at any time on line by clicking here, or by mailing your check to LSAA, P.O. Box 9397, Anaheim, CA 92812-9397.  Thanks in advance for keeping Tommy's Legacy alive!
