The Second Annual All Alumni Homecoming Celebration was held October 17, 2008 and, we are pleased to report, was an even bigger success than last year. Thanks to Dennis Pugh, MBHS Athletic Director, our VIP tents were again set up in the end zone area of the field which made an exciting game even better. In addition to the tents, silent auction, merchandise table and delicious food and beverages -- we had prime seating set up for the near sell out game which our alumni football fans really enjoyed. Our event is a special arrangement just for the MBHS Alumni Association and not only offered a fabulous view of the game but a great opportunity to mingle with other alumni from all years.
The MBHSAA was especially proud to bring back the Hall of Champions inductions this year honoring outstanding athletes and, for the first time, outstanding coaches from 1999-2004 who are listed below:
- Ricky Frink - Baseball '99
- Vernon Smith - Football '00

- Ron Rocket - Football '03
- Shawn Harper - Football '03

We kicked off the Homecoming game with the Hall of Champion induction ceremony in which the Hall of Champion inductee walked through a line up of cheering football players and cheerleaders. Each inductee and their accomplishments were announced to the crowd by Athletic Director Dennis Pugh as they received their personalized Hall of Champions plaque. Current Hall of Champions and past Hall of Champions Directors attending the event were invited to attend the event and were on the field to celebrate the new inductees.
Special thanks to this year's Hall of Champion Committee:
- Coach Dennis Pugh
- Coach Dennis Kane
- Coach Mike Seaman (retired)

Thank you to Robert Harutunian, former MBHS coach and Hall of Champion Board of Director who was a wealth of information and extremely supportive in getting this program reinstated.
Also adding to this year's success were three class reunion weekends who planned activities around Homecoming - Class of '73, 88 and 98. It made the day even more festive seeing old classmates reunited. To make the day even more fun, we had the Homecoming Queen from 1958 in attendance who crowned our new 2008 Homecoming Queen 50 years almost to the day after she had been crowned. All in all, this year we doubled our attendance from last year with over 150 people joining us for the event and added 82 official new Mission Bay High School Alumni Association members. Overall, we made about $3,500 in merchandise sales, memberships and donations which is welcome "seed money" for future events.
MBHSAA will be hosting our VIP "All Alumni Party" every year at Homecoming (The 2009 Home coming date will be available early Spring 2009. Please keep in mind, this is a convenient and fun venue to start a class reunion weekend or just a casual class gathering. The "All Alumni Homecoming Celebration" is free to alumni with a paid admission to the game. If you are an ANNUAL(current in 2008 - annual memberships have to be renewed each year), LIFE or SUSTAINING member entrance to the Homecoming game is free.
It is a goal of MBHSAA to start alumni traditions on campus and we are off to a good start. Please join us next year! Everyone commented how much fun it was to be back at a football game, hearing the great jazz band play once again, seeing old friends, meeting new friends and cheering on our team. On behalf of the MBHSAA it was our pleasure to host this event and alumni from Class of '55 through Class of '08! We look forward to many years to follow…
