Graduated from U.C. Berkeley in 1998 with a major in English and minor in Classical Civilization. I tried law school, and made a detour to become a registered nurse. I got married to a wonderful husband in 2001, and we now have two beautiful daughters ages 4 and 2. Currently, we are nestled in Central Valley, CA. My passions still remain with literature, art, and music!!! I'm on myspace and facebook!!! |

WOW! Class of '94 we are getting "OLD". I am amazed at what a lot of us have become. It is nice to read about the people that I went to school with as far back as Franklin Elementary and John Adams. To everyone I want to say Hello, Goodluck, and Please continue to do your best. Remember, we are next in line to run this country. Let's show them that '94 was a great year and that recession, like the current one, will not be happening on our watch. |

15 years ago!! Wow! Lots has happened...over 40 productions (yes, still acting and dancing), BA in Theatre(San Francisco State University), Multiple Subject Teaching Credential(Sonoma State University),in the process of receiving my MA in Theatre (UCLA). LOTS of traveling around the world, performing and teaching. Most recently, I was dancing all over the Bay Area with Amrita Dance Company doing Bollywood dance. Super fun! I'm married to an amazing musician/artist/High School Choir Director and we just had our first baby boy, Jordan Sky. Recently moved back to Santa Monica for career and graduate school. Life has been abundant and sweet. |

I graduated from Berkeley, moved down to Manhattan Beach for a few years, then returned to the Bay Area to attend law school at Hastings in San Francisco. Graduated last May and now am an attorney practicing environmental and bad faith litigation in the Bay Area. Got married last summer in Pacific Palisades to a fellow Cal grad. I would love to hear from any Bay Area SAMO alums. See you in November! |

After graduation I moved to Washington to attend Washington State University. I decided to pursue a BA in Economics because I figured that all Economists must be as good looking as Mr. Richards at SAMO. I finished my undergraduate years with BAs in Economics and Political Science and then decided to stay and get a Masters in Business Administration as well. I am now back in the LA area working for a small private consulting firm. I have kept in touch with many of my friends from SAMO. Congrats to everyone on their apparent success since high school. |

Do something!” “Susan, go-“ “Yes Daddy?” “Yes Daddy?” “That’s not funny!” That’s not funny!” “That’s not funny!” “Oh, well this one is Susan the smart-Alec here.” “Are you sure?” “Of course I’m sure I know my own daughter don’t I?” “You’re not really sure are you Daddy?” “You know, I’m not...” ~Hope all is well. |

Adult life is great! June of '04 my husband Jared and I will have been married for five years. We recently settled into our first home in upstate New York, and although I miss the West Coast and look forward to future visits, we feel at home here. Our little boy is growing up quickly. Matthew is a very busy and active three year old. My husband is a hard working chemical engineer who makes it possible for me to be a full-time stay-at-home mom. I love my full time job of raising and teaching our little boy! To those who have tried to contact me over the last few years and haven't heard back from me, I apologize...we've been moving around quite a bit. Now that we are settled and staying put, I have been better at keeping up on my correspondence. My best to all! I look forward to a class reunion soon! |

I graduated from UC Davis in 1998 with a BS in Managerial Economics, then moved to San Francisco where I shared an apartment with Michelle Stutsman (also c/o '94). After 3 years in San Francisco and working in retail brokerage, I decided to move to New York City both for a new adventure and to further my career in finance. I met my fiance, JD, at the first company I was working for in New York and now we are planning our wedding for next summer! Fellow SAMO alumni Amy Patterson ('94), Michelle Stutsman ('94), Marie Rocha ('94), Michelle Baird ('94) and Christine TeSelle Crafton ('93) will be attending. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone at the reunion and introducing JD to more SAMO friends! |

Hey there! I took my sweet time but finally graduated from CSULB in 2001. (BA, English/Spanish) After graduating I went to Germany for three months and went surfing & camping in the south of France. (HOSSEGOR!!) For the past three years I've been working as a substitute teacher in the Compton Unified School District, an experience I could write a book about! I've also been writing and recording songs. Pretty soon (May 13, 04) I leave for Australia! I got a work visa, so I'll be working, living and surfing around Sydney for a year. So I'll probably be out of the country, but email me & say Hi! Cheers, mate! |

Okay since my last update I've gotten married to my beautiful wife Heather. We still live in Chandler, AZ, and work at Mesa Police. I'm now a supervisor in the Crime Scene Unit and she's a Latent Print Examiner. We like to joke that if you see me you're having a bad day, if you see her you're having a really bad day. She gets all the "fun" calls like homicides and officer involved shootings. I work just about everything else. If you're really curious you can probably catch some of our exploits at www.eastvalleytribune.com. We still have the two cats and have added a miniature golden retriever dog like thing. If anybody else is out here in the AZ area feel free to drop me a line. |

It's so nice to hear what's going on in everyone's lives! I can't believe it's been almost ten years since we've graduated from SAMOHI. In 1998, I graduated from UCLA with a political science degree with an emphasis in international relations. During college and law school I studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, interned at the White House, and worked for the Democratic National Convention Committee in Los Angeles. In May 2002, I graduated from Loyola Law School and in March 2003, I married Ernesto Morales. For the last year I've been a Staff Attorney at the Cancer Legal Resource Center of the Western Law Center for Disability Rights in downtown LA. I hope to hear from some of you, so we can catch up!

Dear classmates, It's been great to read this site and get updated on what each of you are doing--thank you for posting! I'm currently working as an elementary school teacher at Think College Now, where I've worked for the past five years after teaching in East Palo Alto as a Teach For America corps member. After a lot of work, I recently became a Nationally Board Certified Teacher and I'm pretty relieved to be done with that process--it was really hard! My husband, Jonathan and I are expecting a baby girl this October and we just bought a house in Oakland. I hope you're all doing well. I've been blown away by the multitude of experiences reported on the blurbs. Wishing you all happiness and health. With best wishes, Amanda (Feld) Klein |

Worked in Chicago for a while, then moved to London for grad school at the London School of Economics. Been living in London for several years now, working in media finance. But I'm getting bored, so I'm moving to China for a while. Hope to catch up with y'all at the ten year reunion! |

Let's see... after SAMOHI I traveled far and wide to attend UCLA where I earned a B.A. in Psychology and minored in Business Administration. Since then I have been employed with UCLA at the Anderson Graduate School of Management... I figured they should pay me back some of the money I spent on my education :-) I'm hoping to apply to graduate school this year... hey I may actually venture a little further this time... maybe New York? Then again, there's no place like California! |

Took an advice from one of the best SAMO's teachers :) and became a teacher myself. I have been teaching for 3 years for LAUSD. Got married last year and became an instant mom for a little boy. Have a home based business to make use of those degrees and to make mom happy :P |

Hi there! Greetings from Malaysia. Yes, after 10 years in the States, I decided to move back to Malaysia in 2001. I am currently working for a private college in Malaysia (for those of you who think you might know me, I went by the name JONG and played double bass for SAMO. Ring a bell?). Well, 10 years in the States was amazing and my time at SAMO is definitely way up there. After SAMO, I got both my bachelor and masters degrees from CSUN. However, no regrets from moving back to Malaysia especially since I am happily married. Do hope to run into some of you soon... late! |

All I can say is wow! This just makes me want to go and get my yearbook out. Hello everyone! It is good to hear how active everyone has been since graduation. Like most, I to have jumped around a bit. After graduation I went to SF State and after two years switched majors and transferred to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. There I majored in Horticulture and recieved a BS with an emphasis in California Native Plants and Public Gardening. During that time I also met my husband. Carlos and I got married in Berkeley in November of 2002 and have been living in the East Bay ever since. (We recently purchased a home YAY!) I am a horticulturist at the Regional Park Botanic Garden in Tilden Park in the Berkeley Hills. It is a 10 acre garden consisting solely of California Native Plants. I maintain three sections in the garden as well as collect plants from various areas in California. I can honestly say I have my dream job. I have noticed that a lot of alumni live in the Bay Area. Please stop by the garden sometime for a visit. For those involved in education, we have wonderful tours at the garden for children. It sounds like everyone is enjoying life to the fullest and I hope you continue to do so. Until next time...... |

Wow, I can't believe it took me this long to find this site! I can't believe what everyone is up to, and I remember almost everyone who's posted. Well, I graduated from Brown University in 1998, moved back to L.A., and am now living in the Hollywood Hills pursuing a life in the entertainment industry. The bulk of my work is performing as a professional magician — yes, I actually continued to work on that. I've also started acting recently, and have been writing a lot, not only for myself, but for other performers and organizations (including Disney). You can find out most of the grisly details on my website. Drop me a note sometime and let me know how you're doing, and maybe I'll see you at some reunion. |

Hi all, I graduated from USC in 1997 with a BS in Finance. I went to work for Mayor Richard Riordan as an Economic Development and Policy Analyst in January 1998. In September 2000, I decided to return to graduate school. In the past four years, I completed a Master's Degree at the London School of Economics (I actually overlapped with Kian Gohar) and I completed law school at Yale (Julia Kernochan is in my YLS class). Now it is 2004, and I am about to graduate from Law School, and honestly I still haven't figured out my true goals in life. But at least I know that I made up for all of the classes I ditched at Samohi during our high school years :) I hope you all are doing well and I look forward to our next class reunion in November. |

Hi all. I'm in Grad School @ UCSD. Studying International Relations. Hope to see you at the reunion but I may be somewhere else, in which case, I'll think of you from wherever that may be. I have 1 or 2 more quarters left at school as I see it now. 2 jobs. 1 housemate. No pets. There. You have the basics. I hope you're well and happy. I'm sure our amazing group of 94 grads will have interesting stories to tell when we do see eachother. Go blue! or was it glue?!? no.. it was blue. makes more sense :) |

Hi there! It's so great to hear about everyones adventures. Mine began after graduating from Cal Poly with a BS degree in Nutrional Science. I then decided to take some time off to play. I moved to Lake Tahoe, then Hawaii, and traveled through Europe. Last year I landed back in So Cal in sunny Santa Barbara. I'm back on track and back in school. I'm getting a masters degree in Oriental Medicine, studying to become an Acupuncturist. Hope everyone is happy and doing well. Best wishes to all. |

I graduated from Berkeley, moved back to Santa Monica to spend two years learning interactive design and 3D animation, then moved back to the Bay Area in 2000. I'm currently living in San Mateo, after spending the last four years in San Francisco. I work for a slicon valley technology company as a designer/art director... fun, but not nearly as kick-back as Mr. Westmoreland's art classes. I was married in the Berkeley hills a little over a year ago, and we just bought our first home - making the transition from city life to the suburbs. Still in disbelief it's been 10 years...! |

I also finished my residency in OB/GYN in June and started an Infertility Fellowship here at the University of Utah. We really enjoy Salt Lake City and take advantage of the great skiing and hiking. Come visit! |

Wow, 10 years is a long time to forget names and faces. I think I can only recall 2 or 3 so far. After college out east I joined the Marine Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant. So while classmates like Ryan Hurst were playing warfighter, I was living it. (like your work by the way Ryan) Stationed in Chicago until I resign, get sent off to the next war, or whatever. |

So fun to hear what everyone's up to. What a trip. I jumped around a bit since SAMO -- Colorado College, UC Santa Cruz, travelling through Central America....to here. I'm living in Oakland now, and have been for the last 3 years. I work as a union organizer for low-wage industrial workers. I'm not married and have no kids. Surprised to see how many of you are in the Bay Area. Would love to hear from you. Or see you at the reunion...is it really almost 10 years?!?!?! |

Much love to my SAMO peeps... so glad to hear everyone's doing well! I always thought there was something special about c/o 94, and judging from everyones comments... damn we kicked butt! After graduation I started at a sofware company as a network intern, and 6 years later im a Network Engineer for Dole (ya, the pineapples). I still live in SM, and still love to go out and party! I also organize outdoor parties and I'd love to see some of yall out sometime. Drop me a line if youre still around SM... or not. Id love to hear from you. |

Hey, what's up everyone?! It's been over a year since the reunion and I somehow started to miss all of you. I can't wait until the next reunion comes around - it was nice to visit old friends and old places. I am probably the person living the farthest away from all of you, being here in Poland, cold as hell (we had now about 10 days of -20 degrees Centigrade). Best of luck to all of you |

It's really a blessing to hear about some of the wonderful and brilliant things that people are doing. I feel proud to have known many of you. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Community Health and now work for the charity foundations of Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg and Donna Karan. I'm getting married in July 2005 to a wonderful minister from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and will be moving there to have loads of children and see what else life has to offer. I hope to make it to the reunion and to see all of you again before I leave. If not, may God continue to bless each of you, as I see He has done thus far. Take Care! |

I'm glad I stumbled on to this site. It is great to see a few names that bring back memories. I graduated from UCLA in '99 with a BA in Political Science. Vowing never to work in politics or law I became a photojournalist working for Associated Press which became tiresome after a short time and now I work for myself as a commercial photographer. I would love to hear from anyone that wants to say hi. Eight years goes by quickly, doesn't it?

We now have two children, Ava (3 years old) and Trevor (6 months). We recently bought a house in Culver City and we are still enjoying living on the westside. I currently work at UCLA as a surgical coordinator for a plastic surgeon and I have two classes to complete at Cal. State Northridge before I receive my BS in Health Administration. Being a mommy and hanging out with my family is what I enjoy most. Good to hear from everyone and see you next year. |

Wow! It really does feel like a blast from the past to see all these names from Samo! After getting my B.A. in psychology from UCLA (and discovering that it was useless unless I became a psychologist or psychiatrist, which I was not interested in doing), I went back to UCLA to earn an M.A. in Spanish Languages & Literatures (much more practical!) and am currently working on my Ph.D. in the same (also at UCLA). Teaching has been fun, so I guess it was the right decision! Mark Carrillo (also UCLA psych grad) and I were married last year, and we're working hard at creating a loving home for our two parakeets, who nevertheless blame us for all of their emotional hang-ups. |

In October, 2000, I married Amy Banzhaf, and in lieu of hyphenating two god-awful names, we made up a new one, combined them, both changed our last names to Banzaert, and have lived happily ever after. |

| Hello Old Friends, Yes, we are organizing a reunion for our class of 1994. The event will be 6:00pm-12:00am, Saturday, November 27th (Thanksgiving weekend), 2004, at the Doubletree Hotel (the one touching the SAMOHI campus). We are still very early in the planning process and I am working with a professional company called "The Reunion Committee" to plan the event. Since they are handling all the registrations I suggest you contact them (reuion@reunioncommittee.com,661-259-5999). Please start spreading the word to everyone you are still in contact with, and I will add the name of anyone who emails me to the planning committee email list. Honestly, I do not know what to expect, I hope a lot of people will attend (I will be flying in from New York just for the event). I hope this will be a really meaningful evening. I want it to be a relaxed event with an open bar and a microphone where people can walk up and share their memories and feelings as they feel the urge. In that way I want people to f! eel they are in a safe and caring environment where anyone who is interested can go on stage and share any (personal or not)stories from the last ten years of their lives. I hope it will be sort of like one big AA meeting, but with drinks. Hope to see you there. |

After graduation I began chillin like a villin wich was fun but enlightning, ultimately thinking I need to do somthing, so I joined the air force and did a little traveling. After wich i realized It was a mistake and I freed myself of oppression with rebelion :), and began chillin like a villin once again :), and listening to my insight I have been ever since. After realizing how much of a trap most situations are (job,marriage,credit etc)I began trying to start my own business, with no traps in my way and true success within reach. |
