Campus Clean Up Grant Sponsorship
The MBHS Alumni Association is proud to announce our new 2011 Campus Clean Up Grant Sponsorship. This program was designed to reward current MBHS sanctioned student clubs and teams up to $250 per event for organizing campus clean ups at MBHS.
The goal of this program is to inspire a heightened sense of school pride by motivating the student's direct involvement with cleaning and beautifying the MBHS campus.
This involvement and leadership creates respect and lasting sense of "Buc Pride" which is a component of the MBHS Alumni Association's mission statement. The financial component of this grant program also serves to strengthen and build the excellence of our MBHS clubs and teams.
Interested student groups must have an adult supervisor and submit a grant request form to Principal Hilgers who designates an area of the school to focus on and the anticipated results. Once the clean up is completed, results will be evaluated by either Principal Hilgers or a MBHS Alumni Association Board Member. If the proposed scope of the work is completed as specified a maximum of $250 will be awarded to the group.
Our Campus Clean Up Grant Sponsorship program was just announced on campus late December 2010 and has already been met with great enthusiasm. In a few weeks, we had three approved grants and clean-up events scheduled for January with the 11th grade class, the 3PointPlay Club and the Interact Club. Funding is limited, however, for future clean up grants and your donation to the MBHS Alumni Association to perpetuate our new grant request program is greatly appreciated. If you would like to sponsor a entire grant ($250) we will recognize you or your business with the student group sponsored, on our website, e-mails and in the MBHS Beachcomber. Please designate your checks with "Campus Clean Up Grant". All donations are 100% tax deductible.
Please mail to:
MBHS Alumni Association
1380 Garnet Avenue, Suite E442
San Diego, CA 92109-3013

Although the Bucs missed a win this year the weather compensated and we all enjoyed a beautiful day. If you have not joined us yet for homecoming, out VIP tents and prime seating are located in the end zone of the field and, win or lose, it is a fabulous spot to enjoy a day of Buc football.
This year’s auction and alumni wear sales brought in over $2,000 and we welcomed over 30 new members!

Historic logo mural project completed
Thanks to a generous $500 donation from the Pacific Beach Town Council and a matching contribution from alumni Howard and Lisa Barton, Friends of Pacific Beach Secondary Schools and, of course, the MBHS Alumni Association our historic logo project on Grand Street is completed and looks fabulous.
The logos were painted on the front of the Administration Building on Grand Avenue and include the International Baccalaureate logo, the beloved peg leg Buccaneer, the Buccaneer with the sword in his mouth and a "MB" logo used on many of our sports team wear.
The artist, Tom Plonka, also spruced up the Buccaneer on the auditorium that was fading and repainted the knife into his mouth that had been removed many years ago due to zero tolerance. Tom also spruced up the Mission Bay High School logo on Lee Street, added "Home of the Buccaneers", "est. 1953" below it.
Thank you to Frazee Paint for their donation and to all who so graciously made this beaufication project happen. A special thank you to Cori (Smith) Meara who spearheaded this project by approaching the Pacific Beach Town Council and worked diligently with Principal Hilgers and the artist to get all approved.
The 3rd Annual "All Alumni Homecoming Celebration" a big success!:

True or False... Does MBHS have a Nobel Prize Winning alumni?:
TRUE!
Dr. Richard Schrock '63 received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2005. Dr. Schrock was the first honoree in the MBHS Alumni Association's Alumni Excellence Awards Series which was held January 15, 2009. A special assembly was held in the MBHS auditorium with over 300 MBHS honor students, staff, classmates and alumni attending. As a special tribute (and surprise) to Dr. Schrock's prestigious accomplishment, the Chemistry building was dedicated in his honor.
For more information on Dr. Schrock please see http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2005/schrock-autobio.html

UPDATE: THE SECOND ANNUAL ALL ALUMNI HOMECOMING CELEBRATION
SEE THE 2008 EVENT PHOTOS BY CLICKING HERE !
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
- JaJa Riley - Football '01
- Shannon Nowden - Football/Track '01
- Scott White - Football -'02
- Marcus Smith - Football - '03
- Jared Bray - Football/Track -'03
- Brock Ungricht - Baseball '03
- Ron Rocket - Football '03
- Shawn Harper - Football '03
- Phien Dinh - Badminton
- Amanda Rego - Basketball '04
- Amber Sprague - Basketball '04
- Larry Willis - Coach
- Anne Rosser - Coach
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)
- Steve Henson
- Cori Meara '81
- Pam Deitz '80
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
