This site was created to connect, re-connect and share memories with our Mira Costa High School graduating Class of 1975 classmates (even those who will not be attending the reunions) for years to come. Our next goal is to make this site a scrapbook of memories for all classmates and their families. We also established a "In Memory" page to honor our deceased classmates and their legacies. It is important to know that our site is private! It is also important to know that there is no cost to you, its entirely free for our classmates.  (Note: The administrators currently pay a fee for ad removal, and the ads may return if we do not renew our subscription in March 2026).

Everything you need to know about setting up a profile to gain access to the rest of our site is on this page. To contact us click  here, or email us at:

Profile Information is shared with your classmates.  In addition, each classmate has the ability to share their profile with the public, or  limit the visibility of his or her profile to only fellow classmates by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line your profile can be viewed by non members such as your friends or family, but also note your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines.

Finding your class web site Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:

• If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow classmates, and then use a search engine to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by non members.

Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each classmate's profile page (just look under the classmate's main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact classmates without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so.

For verification purposes we also require that you list at least one fellow classmate that was your friend or acquaintance during high school.

To set up your Profile and Contact Information: All classmates are considered "Missing" until they set up a profile.  To set up your profile and contact information: locate the "Missing Classmates" link and then locate your name and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile and contact information. Once you have created your Profile, your name will no longer appear in the "Missing Classmates" section. You will now find it in the "Classmate Profiles" section. If your name is not already on the site, but you were part of the Mira Costa High School Class of 1975, contact us and your name will be added.

• Contact Information (Details): Private information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates. Only site administrators have access to personal contact information.  Contact info will be used only by the class administrators to send you notices of class events and other key announcements.

  • If you let us know what city you live in, then you'll be shown on the World Map along with other listed classmates.  It's kind of fun to see how far we've spread across the nation and around the globe.  (PLEASE NOTE: For privacy and security reasons exact locations are not mapped. Locations are plotted based on Zip Code center and do not include street level detail).  Check it out on the right-hand column of the home page under "Where We Live" box then click "Show Classmates on a Map".  

Updating Contact Information and Profile Information: Please keep your Contact and Profile information up to date by going to the profile icon in the header above on the right  then:

• Select the  "Edit Contact Info" link to update Contact Information or change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update your Contact Info so we have up to date information. That way we can send you notices of class events and other key announcements, and you'll always be in the know about what your classmates are up to!

• Select "Notify Me" if you want to change your notification preferences.

Passwords: Passwords do not need to be the high security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually the "remember me" will fail (for instance when you get a new computer). Please make note of your password!  If you forget your password simply click on "forgot password". If you have several email accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, Contact Us here or by email. Resetting can take a while so please be patient.

The wonderful part about this site is that it came pre-setup by Class Creator. We just had to enter names and data from our 40th reunion database. The site assembles a missing list for us, based solely on the names of people who don't have profiles; so until you have a profile, the site will consider you "missing". Once you have a profile, your name will no longer be in the "Missing Classmates" section, and you can access it in the "Classmate Profiles" section.

Also, please note: We need your help to contact EVERY classmate. If you have information about any classmate, listed or not listed, please email them, phone or text them and invite them to join our site.  Send them to mchs75.org. Have them search the web with keywords: "Mira Costa class of 1975". Or contact us here or at 75mchs+committee@gmail.com with their contact information.

Alternately, if you know a missing classmates email address, you can send an email inviting them to the site.  The site creates an email invite for you, but it uses your email system and email address.  To do this you go to the Missing Classmates page and click on link in the instructions, or go the Home Page, and on the right hand side click on the link in the "Missing Classmates" section, or Click here. This will bring up a selection of the type of email system you are using to create the email invite. Usually the first section: "Your default email software (select this if you read email using software on your computer/device)" works the best unless you are specifically using one of the other listed methods. Type in the missing Classmate's email address and hit send.

Return to Menu

You can contact another classmate using the Send Private Message feature* on the classmate's profile page*. This way you will be able to contact classmates without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so. 

* Note:  The Private Message feature only works between classmates that have joined the site and have elected to receive Private Messages.

You can also send a message or reply to PMs by going to the Message Center.  Select the Message Icon  or select the "Message Center" under the profile icon  in the header above.  If you are offline, and have elected to be notified, you'll receive an email when you have a new Private Message waiting. You can update notification preferences by selecting the "Notify Me" under the profile icon.

You will also communications through "Alerts".  Your Alerts can be found by clicking on the bell  icon in the upper right corner.   The red badge will show you how many alerts you have waiting. To dismiss an alert simply click on it or hit the "X" next to it.
