Tom Lynch '87 

"I hope my gift will be used to improve programs and facilities for SCH students." This student-centric philosophy sits at the heart of Tom Lynch’s relationship with SCH. Since graduating in 1987, Tom has remained a constant presence on campus, serving on the Alumni Association Executive Board and looking for new ways to support the next generation. We touched base with Tom to discuss his "student-first" approach to giving.

What inspired you to support SCH through the SCH Fund?
I have recently been back to SCH to attend athletics and other events. I admire the future direction of SCH, and want to give back so that its current and future students can have a great experience like myself.

Was there a particular moment or experience that sparked your decision to give?
I joined the Alumni Association Executive Board in September 2025 and learned more about the different events at the school and how I could become more involved. I thought giving at the leadership level would be a great way for me to start to contribute back.

What impact do you hope your gift will have on students and the school?
I hope my gift will be used to improve programs and facilities for SCH students. I would like to see all of the students, no matter what gender, age, demographic, or activity and/or sport they participate in, have the best experience possible. I believe this will allow SCH to continue to support the development and growth of well-rounded students.

What would you say to someone who is considering becoming a donor?
There are a lot of charities and institutions where you can donate money; however, I believe that SCH should be at the top of your list. SCH has made a big impact on all of us. Many of us have made lifelong friends there and even continue to stay in contact with former teachers and administrators. We should all want the same for the existing and future students.

Do you have a favorite quote or piece of advice that inspires you?
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Or who are you not to be?" - Marianne Williamson
