LDAA’s Beginnings: It all began in 1984 when a small group of former students who attended either the Loudoun Training and/or Douglass High School decided to get together for dinner. While socializing, members from the Class of 1953 came together with an idea: to start an alumni association aimed at providing scholarships and grants to deserving students and financial assistance to charitable organizations in Loudoun County. And as a result of the 1984 discussion, the Loudoun Douglass High School Alumni Association (LDAA) was established in 1985.
The LDAA focuses its efforts on enhancing the lives of young adults whose parents, grandparents, or other family members attended either school by providing opportunities for further education. Specifically, our mission is to provide financial aid scholarships to young people who desire to pursue education beyond high school at a trade school, college, or university. The LDAA has provided more than $300,000 in scholarships since 1985, which enhanced the income earning potential and enriched the lives of many through education.
