A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Friends and Families,
It is my privilege to welcome you to the 2025-2026 performance season at California School of the Arts –San Gabriel Valley (CSArts-SGV)! I am thrilled to introduce this year’s extraordinary lineup of performances and events. Each of these productions is a celebration of the passion, talent, and dedication of our students, faculty, and staff.
Every year, I am deeply inspired by the collaborative efforts of our school community, as those on stage and behind the scenes come together to make the impossible possible. Tonight, I feel honored to share the creative spirit of our campus with you and to invite you to experience firsthand the magic our students and teachers have been working so hard to create.
As we embark on another exciting season, I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation to the corporations and individuals in the following groups. CSArts-SGV’s continued success is made possible by their generous support, leadership, and vision.
Season Sponsors Board of Trustees
Foundation Board of Directors
Strategic and Educational Partners
President’s Circle Encore Family Action Network (FAN) Support Our Seniors (SOS)
Additionally, I would like to share my gratitude for the valued partnerships that have been cultivated between our school and Duarte Unified School District (DUSD), the DUSD Board of Education, and the City of Duarte Council Members.
Finally, I would like to recognize the vital contributions of our parents, alumni, administrators, faculty and staff, members of the local community, and – most importantly – our remarkable student artists. Our students remain at the heart of everything we do, and their creativity and growth are our greatest achievements.
Thank you for celebrating this impressive performance season with us. We invite you to immerse yourself in the artistry, energy, and inspiration that define the CSArts-SGV experience.
With gratitude,
