Paul Olson Financial Aid Fund

For almost two decades, choral director Paul Olson instilled a legion of Brophy students with a love of singing and performing in a way that had never been done before. Boys who loved to sing and who, with Mr. Olson's mentoring, soared to great heights. And boys who had never sung but found an unexpected outlet — and discovered untapped talent — with his encouragement. Boys who were confident and boys who were hesitant. Boys who were athletes, scientists, artists, poets and advocates — who all found common ground on the risers, under the kind, sure, talented and inspired direction of Mr. Paul Olson. 

Mr. Olson will retire at the end of the 2020-21 school year, but his name and legacy will live on with the Paul Olson Financial Aid Fund. You can make your donation using the form on the right.
