Sampson High School served as the high school for African-American students in Clinton, NC during the years of segregation. In 1969, its doors closed to the last graduating class. As Clinton City schools began to integrate, it continued to serve as a middle school for several years. The beginning of the first decade of the organization was the outgrowth of planning sessions by a dedicated committe

e in February 1973. The key objective was to locate as many Sampson High School graduates, teachers, and friends as possible. Public relations trips to Clinton, NC, New York City, New Jersey and Philadelphia, PA were made to outline details for our first reunion which was held in Washington, DC. Scholarship assistance to students seeking post-secondary education is the cornerstone of our existence. Over $500,000.00 has been awarded in scholarships over the years. We are chartered in North Carolina as a non-profit organization. Chapters meet annually during the second weekend in August for a reunion and fellowship of family and friends.

Where the Tradition Began...
In August 1973, alumni came together for something extraordinary—the very first Sampson High School Alumni Association Reunion. What began as a weekend of reconnecting with classmates became the foundation of a tradition that has now spanned more than five decades.

Pictured is one of the original Certificates of Participation, presented to Raymond T. Williams, recognizing his support of the newly established Sampson High School Alumni Association Scholarship Fund. Even then, our alumni understood that preserving our legacy meant investing in future generations.

Because of the SHS alumni and countless others who answered the call, SHSAA has been able to:
• Award hundreds of scholarships to deserving students
• Support educational and community initiatives
• Bring generations of Rams together through fellowship and service
• Keep the spirit of Sampson High School alive for more than 50 years

As we prepare for this year's reunion, we honor the vision of those who attended that very first gathering in 1973. Their commitment continues to inspire everything we do today.
