SDSCPA is a magnet school for students in grades six through twelve.
"We have the largest facility in the West," says Donald Robinson, a fourteen-year veteran of SDSCPA's theater-dance program.
The school's motto stresses "staff dedication, student commitment, parent involvement, and community support," and challenges students "to make arts and academics share center stage." That concept is working like a charm at SDSCPA, a school where campus violence, drugs, and other teen-related problems are definitely off-limits.
