Point Loma High School will soon be adding a new weight room after receiving a $90,000 Champions Grant from a local stock car racing legend. Jimmie Johnson, who recently made NASCAR history by winning his fourth consecutive season championship, returned to his home town San Diego this week to announce area grant winners selected by his Jimmie Johnson Foundation in partnership with Lowe’s Toolbox for Education. In all, 11 local schools received a total of $491,781, bringing the total to $1.5 million doled out by the foundation over the last three years. The announcement was made Monday at Crest Elementary School in El Cajon, where Johnson was once a student. Later, after visiting Marines at Camp Pendleton, Johnson appreared at a public “homecoming rally” at the Santee Lowe’s store. Point Loma’s grant was the only local project showcased at this event. An annual golf tournament hosted by Johnson raises funds that he and wife Chandra give to youth here and in Oklahoma and North Carolina. Pointer parents Lisa Tumbiolo and Ron Gemmill combined their writing and construction expertise to apply for the funds from the foundation. Point Loma High’s senior class president Josh Morse created a video that was submitted with the school’s application.
