Find Missing Classmates

"Missing" from this website means that we don't have the alum's email address. We may have a postal mailing address, but if we don't, alumni will be missing out on the annual Tiger News newsletter and important reunion announcements.
 
Names marked as *lost* are those we have no contact information of any kind. If you know how to reach lost/missing alumni, or who else would know, please Contact Us.

Your current class member list is available to your class reunion committee members. Instructions to receive it can be found here: "Reunion Resources".
 

RESOURCES AND IDEAS TO HELP FIND CLASSMATES
 
Search on your own or organize a group search party. The most efficient way would be to share a private online list with your committee members and give out assignments after you've uploaded your "Missing List" as a shareable Excel or Google Sheets document.
 
More classmates will attend your next reunion if you ask them to join SPHSAA.org, regardless of whether you also invite them to a private Facebook Group, Instagram, or class website.
 
If they join SPHSAA.org, they will receive the 'Tiger News' bulletin every year in the spring at no cost. Let classmates know your committee wants to be able to send invitations and details for your next class reunion or other events via email and/or through the post office.
 

THE TWO BEST BASIC SEARCH OPTIONS
 
(1) SPHSAA.org: Click here, “Classes & Classmates” to do a last name search. You'll come up with a list of similar last names, many of which, if they've joined the website, might be parents, siblings, or other relatives who were also alumni. Siblings would be listed in the graduating classes before or after your classmates. 
All active alumni on our website can send/receive messages from the Message Center. You can message them and ask if they are related to (name, class of xxxx). If they reply that they are related, see if they have contact information for your classmate and if they’d forward a request to contact you or join the website. 

(2) FastPeopleSearch.com - CURRENTLY THE BEST SEARCH RESOURCE! This is a quick and easy web search tool. Having initials or a middle name helps rule out similar names. With these details, you can also narrow down a Facebook search. Make sure you scroll down through all of the similar names. Looking at the age of the individual will help you pinpoint who you are looking for if they have a common name. 

  • TIPS & TRICKS: (You can search by name, phone number, or street address)
1) Enter as much of the person's full name as possible, including maiden and known married last names.
2) Enter the last known city and state they lived in. If none are known, use South Pasadena, CA. 80% of the time, you will be able to find a match, but you may also have to scroll through a lot of names while focusing on their age.
3) When you find the person you think you are looking for, don't start scrolling down through the information. First, click on their highlighted name (in green) at the top of the search results. Then scroll down to "Most Frequently Asked Questions," which will give you a synopsis of the information you are looking for. Most of the time, the information is fairly accurate and up-to-date, but other times information is not updated with the most current address or phone numbers. Phone numbers and email addresses are the most helpful information to attempt reaching out to your classmates.
4) There will also be a list of related family members. As a last resort, you can click on their names to obtain their contact information, which may also help you locate a missing person.
 

OTHER SEARCH OPTIONS RESOURCES
 
Google Search. You may need to add parentheses around the name. This may pull up websites they are listed on, so you’ll want to open the website link and scroll through it. 
 
Social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and MySpace are all great resources to try to find lost classmates. Remember to search the classmate's married name as well as their maiden name since they may have set up their social network profile using either one.
