Welcome To Sayville Alumni

The Sayville Alumni Association is an organization for the Alumni of Sayville High School, created and run by these Alumni. Membership requires that you attended Sayville High School, not that you graduated. Membership is also open to past and present staff, teachers, administrators, Sayville Board of Education members, as well as those who have a sincere interest because they have ancestors who were alumni. Membership is free and always will be.

We have been around for over a hundred years, in various forms.  One fact has never changed;
“Where would we be without our valued crew”?
The below people have grabbed an oar and rowed!
Most don’t really want permanent rowing positions;
Thus, we continue to evolve.
We sure hope you will grab an oar, too!

Remembering David

 

Sayvillealumni.org was the creation of David J. Stang, It is with very deep sadness, that we report the untimely passing of David, SHS class of 1963.

 

A man of profound Sayville High School spirit and the founder of sayvillealumni.org, David died July 8, 2018 4:13.PM in Washington, DC after a short illness. David was a very young 72 years of age.

 

If you knew David, it would be no surprise to learn that his body was donated to medical science. David, my mentor at sayvillealumni.org was an amazing man, who was loved and admired by so many… his passing is a complete shock. We mourn for his family and friends.
