HISTORY
The Compton High School Alumni Association (CHSAA) was incorporated in the State of California on October 26, 2006. It was formed by a group of alumni wanting to make a positive difference in the lives of students. The initial directors (signatories to the California Articles of Incorporation): Deborah Spottsville, Kelvin Filer, Phyllis Wright Williams, Janis Wright Bradley, Sumire Gant, Mona Gregoire McClure, and Pamela Samuels-Young.
The CHSAA evolved from the Tarbabe Task Force’s Organizational Action Team that brought alumni from coast to coast, from Atlanta and from Africa and from points in between, back to Compton to identify ways to give back to the School of Champions. From that effort, the first Compton High School Alumni Day was held on May 15, 2007, and a symbolic “sword” was passed from the Task Force to the CHSAA to carry out the mission long term.
The CHSAA is a non-membership organization whose Board members serve staggered three-year terms. If you are interested in becoming a board member, please send your biography to comptonhighalumni@gmail.com. Board members are elected by the board at their annual meeting in March of each year.
