The Fr. Earl W. LaRiviere Scholars Program
"Aquinas fosters a flexible and interactive student-centered learning environment in order to form today's students into tomorrow's leaders”
It is the goal of The LaRiviere Society to fund at least three scholarships to deserving students as they enter their senior year at Aquinas. LRS will also fund an annual Excellence in Teaching Award.
The Scholars Program was developed by The Father LaRiviere Society Steering Committee: Chuck Street, John Talbot, Nicholas Herlick, Gregg Edeson, Mark Gardner, Charlie Daschbach — May 15, 2019
Exciting News! Meet our LRS Scholars for 2021!
About the Scholars Program
Fr. LaRiviere taught at Aquinas from 1959 to 1969 serving as an inspirational catalyst, guiding students in growth and maturity. His students look back with gratitude for the ability to think critically and to express themselves with confident voices.
He was a towering presence, who brought with him a piercing gaze and hearty laughter. His individual attention particularly became a force in students' lives with a strict disciplined approach to learning and individual student accountability. Alumni look back on Fr. Earl with gratitude, nostalgia, and warmth.
Many alumni have remembered him throughout their lives, through his influence on their values of Integrity, Justice, and Dignity.
In 2018, former Aquinas HS students created “The LaRiviere Society” (LRS) and raised over $50,000 in funds to create a Father LaRiviere Memorial Statue and Reflection Grotto at Aquinas. The Society now has two goals…honoring excellence in teaching and creating a unique student scholarship… The LaRiviere Scholars Program.
In its inaugural year the LaRiviere Society pledges $2,000 each in scholarships for three LaRiviere Scholars.
