SCPA In Memoriam

With sincere affection, we remember our classmates, teachers, staff, parents, and friends who have passed away since 1973. We request and would sincerely appreciate the names and graduation year or school position of any of our family for whom we have had no prior knowledge of their passing. Please submit that information to info@scpaalumni.org. Inevitably, this list will grow and we will continue to depend on our readers to submit that information.

We Remember the Parents and Friends involved with the founding of SCPA and in the establishment of the Friends of SCPA since our first home in Mt. Adams, 1973 – Today!

SCPA Moms & Dads were very active in the founding, building and growth of SCPA including but not limited to: constructing office space, multiple moves (Mt Adams, Roselawn, 1310) , painting, electrical, ticket sales, refreshments, advertising/promotion/marketing, teacher assistance, transportation, set/costume/prop construction, photography/video/audio, bookkeeping, food prep & cleanup, fundraising, audition assistance, and many, many other events and activities where they donated their time, money and energy to ensure the success of the school. Their devotion and commitment to the future funding of SCPA led to the establishment of The Friends of SCPA. The Friends supported the school from 1974-2014. We are forever in their debt for their tireless dedication.
