LCC IS IN HIS DNA
ADAM TURNER ’87, Pre-U ’88
Enabling students who don’t have the financial means to access such an exceptional school is a real game changer.
— ADAM TURNER ’87, Pre-U ’88
As an LCC graduate and father of three LCC students and alumni, Adam Turner ’87, Pre-U ’88 says that the school has become an integral part of his identity. Adam has been an active LCC volunteer since his early days, when he became a member of the Alumni Association (former Old Boys’ Association) following graduation from university. His commitment deepened over the years as he served as president of the Alumni Association, took on roles as both a member and chair of the Board of Governors, and played a key part in fundraising for the Assaly Arts Centre, Chamandy Arena, Webster Learning Activity Centre and the Power of Possibilities Bursary Campaign. He currently sits on the board of the LCC Foundation.
“As a student, during my formative years, LCC shaped who I became as a person,” he says. “I learned what hard work means, how to engage with others and discovered what I valued. I knew then, as I know now as an alumnus and LCC parent, that I belonged to a unique and special community. Non Nobis Solum defines what LCC stands for and I have a responsibility to the school that has given me so much.”
Adam developed and exercised his leadership skills as a young student, participating on the student council, immediately forming a strong bond with the school and his peers. The Class of 1987 remains a close-knit group, many of whom continue to demonstrate their unwavering dedication to the school.
Despite balancing family and his role as president of Divco, a construction and real estate company, Adam prioritizes giving back—both financially and through volunteering. He highlights that LCC has evolved into a dynamic and forward-looking institution with top-tier facilities, a rich array of co-curricular and academic offerings, and an exceptional faculty. “Enabling students who don’t have the financial means to access such an exceptional school is a game changer,” he says. “This allows for diversity in the student population, which creates a real-world environment and is a winning proposition for all.”
As his youngest son prepares to graduate from grade 11 at the end of the 2024–2025 academic year, Adam is set to establish a named scholarship, cementing an enduring legacy at LCC and continuing his lifelong commitment to the school community.
