"Welcome to South Gate High, Class of 56"..All class years welcome.. Enjoy your visit and visit often..

  Welcome to the South Gate High School website. The idea behind this site is to make available,  biographies, photographs and information of the alumni of the classes of Winter/Summer 1956...
 There were 460 graduates in 56 and their pictures from the yearbook and reunion books have been scanned into a data base and will be used on that alumni's page along with any other pictures of themselves, kids, grandkids, email addresses, anything that person would like to share on their page... Just email me any pictures or info you want on your page.....or anything you want changed... just let me know and please tell any and all alumni you know about Southgatehigh.com... There will never be a charge here as some websites I'm sure you have seen.....This site will continually be under construction and is based on 1956 as this is the year I graduated from South Gate High ...I have had some feedback from some friends  of classes 54,55,57,58,59 etc and some from the 40's who would like to be included,  so there will be an area under "Class of" that will include any alumni of South Gate who would enjoy having a page to share with their classmates...just e-mail me....The indexes at left, Winter/Summer 56 contain all the names of the graduates and I will be installing the pictures I have, starting with the attendees of reunion 45th adding down thru reunion 25th to graduation...Any information or pictures I receive from any alumni will be installed to their page within 24 hours...whether they attended all or no reunions....... So sit back and enjoy a stroll through the galleries of pictures and bios of friends and classmates of 50+ years ago....And please take a moment to view the "In Memory" pages......And a special thanks to Doris
Greathead/Edey from the reunion committee who has supplied me with many pictures and information which has helped in the creation of this website..........     David Mandeville,   Summer'56
