Other Alumni Events       The Alumni/Homecoming Picnic will follow on Sunday, November 14th. This picnic has become the event to replace Homecoming on campus. We will invite the students, players and cheer leaders to celebrate with us, too. Some class reunions will also be taking place that same weekend, so there will be Mustangs all over Pasadena. This will be a weekend to remember as we celebrate at all three events. So plan to hang out with "old" and "new" friends all weekend. *(The date of the Turkey Tussle has not been announced as yet, but it will either be Thursday, November 11th or Friday November 12th). The Rich History       The John Muir High School Alumni Hall of Fame evolved from a special program called the School Site Council/School Improvement Program that began at Muir in 1980. The program held a Student Leadership Conference in 1983 and, as a result, the John Muir Pride Task Force was formed. Their purpose was to improve school pride and campus beautification. They did this by making spirit buttons, painting the campus, creating murals, planting projects and various fundraisers.      In 1988, the Pride Task Force established the Alumni Hall of Fame. The recipients must be graduates of Muir Tech, Muir College or John Muir High School and not be employed at Muir for at least one year. They also must have or had an outstanding career which has resulted in a direct and significant impact in their field for at least five (5) years. The categories in which the alumni are recognized include: (1) Community Service; (2) Visual and Performing Arts or Journalism; (3) Government Service; (4) Sports or Business; and (5) Science or Education. Up to seven alumni could be inducted into the Hall of Fame each year. An additional award, entitled the “Rufus Mead Award,” is bestowed upon the alumni who have made overwhelming contributions in either of the above categories. This award may or may not be presented annually.      Since 2004, the John Muir High School Alumni Association has been responsible for the planning and the organization of the Alumni Hall of Fame program. The inductees are selected by a Committee which includes teachers, students, administrators, former inductees and Alumni Association Board members.
