John Muir High School Alumni Association

The Alumni Association has three classes of membership: Regular Members, who were students at John Muir Technical High School (1926-’46), John Muir Junior College (1946-1954) and John Muir High School (1955-present); Associate Members, who are friends of the high school and do not qualify as Regular Members; and Lifetime Members, who have contributed a minimum of $500 to the Alumni Association. Lifetime members can be Regular Members or Associates.

JMHSAA exists to support academic and extracurricular programs as well as student and alumni activities. For example, it provided moral, administrative and financial support to assist me in organizing "Victor Wright Night." This inspirational event that honored Victor was attended by nearly 200 people at the Rufus Mead Auditorium.

I was thrilled when Victor, my friend and classmate, was later elected to the John Muir Hall of Fame.

I was so grateful for the assistance of JMHSAA that I decided to become a member and was elected to the board of directors and elected as the membership chairman. I have spoken to hundreds of alumni dating back to the days of John Muir College (1946-1954).

I’d like to appeal to you to renew your membership. Annual dues are just $20, and you can now become a lifetime member for $500. Just complete this form and return it to the address listed on the application. Or you can complete an application and pay you dues here on our website safely and securely through PayPal.

JMHSAA is a tremendous resource to the school as well as to our alumni. We’ve been involved in various campus events, such as the Jog/Walk-A-Thon and Campus Pride Day, a school beautification effort.

Life Membership

We’ve contributed to the upkeep of the Hall of Fame and Alumni Museum, which helps to preserve John Muir memorabilia and historical records. We now have our own office on campus with a phone number, (626) 208-1351, for alumni and others to leave messages and our general email address is Alumni @ JMHSAA.org (be sure to include "JMHSAA" as part of your subject line or your email will not be opened).

In addition to memberships, JMHSAA raises funds through events such as our annual "Day at the Races" at Santa Anita Park and our Awards Dinner , which honors deserving students, teachers and alumni. Proceeds from these events go toward campus improvements, such as a new marquee, and for scholarships, the purchase of equipment and supplies and the support of student and alumni activities.

Thanks in advance for your continued support. Together, we can keep the JMHS pride, spirit and traditions alive,

David Rutherford, Board Member
