Santa Monica High School (Samohi) Alumni Association (SAA) began in fall 1988, with the publication of the first edition of the Viking News by co-founders, Linda Gray, '64 and Rena McKinzie, '91. The SAA serves the alumni and current students through its tax-exempt corporation.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Santa Monica High School (Samohi) Alumni Association (SAA) is to provide support to alumni and current students by encouraging involvement and interaction among alumni and between alumni and current Samohi students. The SAA is committed to the values Samohi represents - Sincerity, Maturity, Honor, and Service (SMHS) - and demonstrates those values in the work done to bring alumni together and to communicate information to current students about Samohi's rich history and traditions.
       The SAA endeavors not only to provide information to alumni and current students through sponsorship of school-related activities, its web site and Viking E-News, and its comprehensive quarterly publication, The Viking News, but also by providing scholarships and other financial aid to programs and staff at Samohi. The SAA is a support group that encourages innovation and promotes excellence.

Its Board of Directors, drawn from the organization's over four thousand members, are graduates from the Classes of 1934 through 1989, and welcomes new alumni who are interested in serving to apply. We have banded together to demonstrate our deep affection for Samohi and the values it represents: Sincerity, Maturity, Honor, and Service.

Our support is shown in the school-related activities SAA sponsors: Scholarship and Honor Night, Grad Nite, SAA Awards Banquet, as well as providing scholarships and other financial aid to programs and staff at Samohi. It also serves the alumni through its quarterly newsletter, Viking News, the Annual All-Class Picnic, and the Awards Banquet for Outstanding Alumni. Your support and participation is greatly appreciated!
