Samohi Legacy Tailgate

Thank You for an Incredible Night!

The 2026 Samohi Legacy Tailgate was a sold-out success, bringing together more than 180 alumni, parents, community members and supporters of Santa Monica athletics for an unforgettable Homecoming celebration on the Exploration Building rooftop.

Together, we celebrated Samohi’s proud athletic legacy, 150 years of Santa Monica public schools and the exciting future of athletics for our students.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special, and to the Tyler Skaggs Foundation  for partnering with SMEF on this incredible event.

We are already looking forward to doing it again. Stay tuned for the date of the 2027 Samohi Legacy Tailgate!
