Anderson Dale Bard Education
Fund
Anderson Dale Bard was a student at San Pedro High School’s Marine Science Magnet. He had a wide variety of interests, including marine life, science fiction, astronomy and video game design. He was not always outgoing, but those fortunate to know him discovered a creative mind and a striking sense of humor.
Born in Torrance July 12, 1999, he spent his early years in California, before moving for a time with his family to Maine. He returned to California in 2005. In his short life he got to see much of the country, both while travelling east with his family, and also for excursions such as whale-watching in Hawaii, and observing a solar eclipse in the Lake Tahoe area.
We remember him for his outside-of-the-box way of thinking, and for his unique way of looking at the world. He left us too soon.
The Anderson Dale Bard Education Fund is a 501(c)3 non-profit Charitable Trust established in memory of our son, who died October 27, 2014. The goals of the trust are to: Foster education with emphasis placed on unique, creative thinkers pursuing fields of study such as Marine Science, Astronomy, Technology or Engineering; Assist persons exhibiting academic commitment and good character to obtain a post-secondary education, with strong consideration given to students with a record of volunteerism in the community in non-school sponsored activities; Create and establish scholarships, fellowships and other methods of improving the education and techniques for prospective members of the community meeting the above criteria.
Scholarship
We are proud to announce the Anderson Dale Bard Memorial Scholarship Award Program. Under the Program, one (1) $1,000 scholarship will be awarded annually to a senior attending San Pedro High School/John M. & Muriel Olguin Campus, with emphasis placed on unique, creative thinkers pursuing fields of study such as Marine Science, Astronomy, Technology or Engineering.

We would like to thank the entire community, and especially the faculty at LAUSD, for their strong and continued support in creating this legacy for our son.
