Burbank High School Community Rallies to Rename Library in Honor of Legendary Educator Dave Thomson
Thomson, a legendary BHS history teacher, made the past come alive for his students.
A dedicated group of faculty, alumni, and community members at Burbank High School is leading an effort to rename the school’s library the Dave Thomson Library.
The project, which recently received official approval from the Burbank Unified School District Board of Education, now moves into a public fundraising phase.
Dave Thomson, who retired in 2020 after an illustrious 35-year career as a history teacher at BHS, is remembered by colleagues and former students as a “legend” and a “model teacher”.
The idea to honor Thomson originated upon his retirement but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
