Sampson High School Alumni Association (SHSAA) was founded in 1973 by a group of Sampson High School Graduates. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to the concepts of:

• Establishing and maintaining continuous periodic fellowship and association among Sampson High School graduates and friends.
• Establishing and administering a scholarship fund for needy and worthy youth in Clinton and or Sampson County or descendants of Sampson High School Alumni Associated members.
• Promoting allegiance, support and fidelity among all Sampson High School graduates and associates.
• Uniting Sampson High School graduates in worthwhile community projects to help the needy and underprivileged

The association is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors who are nominated and elected by the membership.
