The Friends of SCPA
What Is The Friends of SCPA?
The Friends of The School for Creative and Performing Arts has been the financial backbone for the school’s artistic programs since its inception. The Friends organization is dedicated to securing resources that enhance SCPA’s creative environment and enable the development of each student’s artistic potential. The volunteer Board of Trustees includes members of the business community, parents, members of the artistic communities and others who are committed to providing quality arts education to students. Resources secured by The Friends underwrite school productions and private lesson scholarships, provide needed equipment, finance additional artistic faculty, and support other artistic demands that make SCPA's education outstanding and unique.
