Principal's Message
Dear CAPA Families,
This week we begin our second semester at Pittsburgh CAPA. As has been announced, we are closed Monday due to the snow. The first day of the second semester will be a Day 2; students should be sure to check their semester 2 schedules for their second semester courses.
We are very excited for our upcoming month of events celebrating Black History Month, which begin on the 12th with a production of the play Flight. On the 19th, we will host our annual Celebration of Black Dance, with matinees for students and staff. We will close the month with performances from our Jazz band and our student vocalists.
We are also thrilled to be welcoming back familes for our audtion workshop on the 7th. More details are available below.
It is going to be a cold and snowy week, so be sure to look out for announcements regarding delays, closings, or remote learning.
Be safe and have a great week!

In the article, journalist Bill O’Driscoll focuses on the "Celebrating 45 Years of CAPA" exhibition. The piece offers a great perspective on the creative dedication within our program. We encourage everyone to read the full story and celebrate the steady growth and success of our visual arts community.
