Thornton Academy: Where Community Comes Together
Thornton Academy brings together students, staff, community members, and its extensive alumni network through cherished traditions and signature events throughout each year
Senior Alumni Reunion
The Senior Alumni Reunion brings together those who graduated at least 50 years ago. The event is an opportunity to connect with classmates, make new connections from other generations, and visit the campus to get a tour.
We'll see you in the fall, classes of 1976 and older!
Athletic Hall of Fame and Alumni Awards
The new class of athletes selected into the Athletic Hall of Fame are inducted in a ceremony at Homecoming every year. These individuals and teams left their mark on TA athletics and provided memorable moments that won't be forgotten. Their stories inspire future generations of Trojans to work hard and excel in their sport.
Thornton Fund Auction
On behalf of Thornton Academy, its students, faculty, and staff, we invite you to be a part of TA’s 19th Annual Thornton Fund Auction on October 24, 2026. This year’s event is also a celebration of Thornton Academy Fine Arts and the 30th Anniversary of the Harry P. Garland II Auditorium.
Our annual auction continues to be Thornton Academy’s primary fundraising event, financing critical programming, expanding academic opportunities, creating equity by filling gaps like free breakfast and lunch for students in need, and enhancing the quality of experiences across campus.
Annual Golf Tournament
It's more than a great day of golf. It’s an opportunity to make a real difference for Thornton Academy students who rely on the Student Assistance Fund for essentials like daily breakfast and lunch, warm winter clothing, healthy food, technology for learning, eyeglasses, and access to extracurricular activities.
You can support this mission by playing in the tournament or making an even bigger impact as a sponsor. Every level of involvement helps open doors for students who need it most.
