2026 GOLDEN 50TH REUNION
Those who attended this year's celebration will agree it was INCREDIBLE!!! We can assure you that the ear-to-ear smiles are not (physically) permanent but will be perpetual in your shared Memories. More than one third of the Class of '76 attended (which is amazing in itself) and lends credibility to our belief that our era in the '70s, and the Class of '76 in particular, truly was a great time to be at Westmont. Among the highlights this year was honoring our distinguished faculty...Coach Don Stagnaro, Linda Jopp Goytia and Darrell "Doc" Linthacum. Let's keep our memories and legacy alive...for all who attended AND for those unable to attend.

Westmont's Legacy Video Time Capsule Project is LIVE!!!
The Class of '76 spearheaded a special Video Time Capsule Project as part of its Golden 50th Reunion celebration — a collection of short messages, memories, reflections, and stories from Westmont alumni, faculty, staff and family to preserve and share for years to come.
This Legacy Project continues...We invite ALL Westmont warriors*** to record brief video message(s) — anywhere from 15 to 45 seconds. Funny, heartfelt, nostalgic, reflective, or even completely unexpected… all are welcome. This is our (your) chance to capture your voices, personalities, humor, wisdom, and spirit of Westmont...whether a few, thirty or even fifty or sixty years later for many of us.
Go to Westmont Alumni video time capsule project page to see the Class of 1976 videos and participate in the Legacy Project.
You can record your video on your phone, tablet, or computer, and upload. Whether sharing your favorite Westmont Memory or doing a shout out to your most-inspirational teacher…a Then vs Now reflection…or best advice you’d give to your 18-year-old self. Don’t worry about perfection — authenticity matters far more than production quality. A genuine smile, laugh, memory, or story is what people will remember.
Submissions will be brought together into videos that will be shown at Westmont Reunions, presented to Westmont HS and posted on the Westmont Alumni website.
With your help, Westmont HS Alumni will have a lasting and memorable place in the culture and history that is Westmont. Please contact Dave Gai, Class of 1976, if you plan on participating or have questions.
Please share this with your Westmont classmates, especially those from classes other than 1976.
Note: this project is open to all Westmont alumni, faculty, staff and friends...not exclusive to just Class of 1976 or Golden 50th Reunion attendees!
A Legacy for Every Westmont Generation
On the occasion of the Golden 50th Anniversary, the Westmont High School Class of 1976 proposes to establish two complementary and enduring institutions intended to serve as a lasting legacy gift from the Class of 1976 to the entire Westmont High School alumni community for the benefit of all who share the Westmont experience:
The Official Formation of the Westmont High School Alumni Association and Westmont High School Alumni/Education Foundation
Further, the Class of 1976 intends to establish two benchmark scholarships in honor of Darrell "Doc" Linthacum and Linda Jopp Goytia
The Westmont High School Alumni Association and Foundation provide the organizational foundation to connect, engage, and empower Westmont graduates across classes, careers, and generations while preserving and strengthening the legacy of the Westmont community.
The Westmont High School Alumni Association -- A California Unincorporated Nonprofit Association
- Will bring together the collective experience, talent, memories, relationships, and goodwill of Westmont alumni.
- Manages alumni membership, dues, reunions, social activities, networking, and community engagement.
The Westmont High School Alumni/Education Foundation -- A California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation organized to qualify as a §501(c)(3) charitable organization
- Manages charitable gifts, scholarship and grant funds, donor restrictions, endowment assets, and charitable program accountability.
- Planned activities include scholarships, educational grants and programs, charitable fundraising, donor stewardship, planned giving, endowment development, and qualifying educational heritage projects.
For more than six decades, Westmont High School has connected generations of students whose lives have taken thousands of different paths. More than 23,000 alumni have carried their Westmont experience into virtually every profession, community, industry, military service, creative endeavor, educational institution, and walk of life.
The Class of 1976 believes that the greatest gift one graduating class can leave is not simply a monument to its own history, but an institution capable of serving generations that came before and after it. Together, these organizations will create a sustainable Westmont alumni ecosystem:
One community. One charitable institution. One enduring legacy.
The Class of 1976 offers this structure not merely as a celebration of its own 50 years since graduation, but as an investment in the next 50 years of the Westmont community.
One School. Thousands of Stories. Generations of Connections...Connecting the Past. Enriching the Present. Inspiring the Future.
The legacy the Class of 1976 proposes to leave:
- An organization that remembers where Westmont has been
- A foundation that invests in where Westmont is going
- A community that ensures Westmont alumni never have to lose their connection to one another
Foundation and Alumni Association Partnership
The Westmont High School Alumni Foundation is designed as a charitable organization working alongside the separate member-based Westmont High School Alumni Association, to connect alumni and community generosity with educational opportunity for Westmont High School students and its educational community. In this true partnership, each entity retains its own governing body, bank accounts, assets, contracts, obligations, and records, while sharing key services, coordinated campaigns, technology, branding, fair cost allocation, and maintaining clear identification of the legal recipient. Neither entity’s Board controls the other.
