Wall of Honor

Giving Recognition

Former Congressman Tom Davis and former Principal Elizabeth Lodal

Former Congressman Tom Davis and former Principal Elizabeth Lodal at the annual Partnership Fund Awards Dinner in May 2009. Both received Tommy Awards for their support of TJ.

Placed in the lobby of the Main Entrance to the school, the Jefferson Wall of Honor lists donors’ cumulative gifts and pledges received since the inception of the TJHSST Partnership Fund in 1999.
The Wall of Honor will ensure that future generations of students, alumni, parents, and faculty, foundations, industry and government partners will recognize and appreciate the generosity of those donors who have contributed a minimum of $10,000 to support educational excellence at the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.

As of December 2007, we have posted plaques in the front lobby of the school in honor of our illustrious donors in these levels:

“Tommy” awards are given to individuals, corporations and foundations for advancing educational excellence, critical thinking, and scholastic and research teamwork at TJHSST.  The awards are given to those individuals whose financial and/or time commitments to TJ are far above and beyond the call of volunteerism; and to corporations and foundations whose donations of technologies, cash and supplies represent a substantial and significant advancement for TJ's curriculum activities.
