For roughly 30 years, the original iteration of the Stuttgart American High School Alumni Association was held together by one person. Known simply by “StalGal”, Patricia Hein, class of ’76 did it all and did it well. Many of our alumni would not have reconnected with old friends and, for some, the love of their life, had it not been for Patricia and her persistent and diligent efforts.​

It was not until the Atlanta reunion in 2014 where our longtime founder and organizer decided it was time to “pass the torch”. She did so, creating a new president, adding in fellow classmates to organize and finesse the next reunion, scheduled for 2017.

The Kansas City 2017 reunion was a resounding success for the new organizers, and the alumni association was on a new journey of transitioning from the Stuttgart Alumni Formation Committee to the Stuttgart American Schools Alumni Association, as pertinent questions were raised about the future of our classmates and how to be more inclusive of other Stuttgart area schools. Once solely focused on Stuttgart American High School, now included the schools from Ludwigsburg, Patch, and Robinson Barracks, and several other supporting military housing posts. 

Receiving non-profit, 501 (c)(7) status on March 19, 2019, the alumni association became official, and is headquartered in Tennessee. The efforts exhausted on this endeavor were enormous and heart-filled, though challenging at times. 

The SASAA organization is comprised of Stallions, Ponies, and Panthers; whether military Brats or Third Culture Kids (TCKs), the alumni are forever joined as a 'family'. Inclusive and welcoming, SASAA has provided a soft landing spot for those who only feel at home, when together with fellow Brats and TCKs and a shared experience. As we say...

Stallions For Life.
