🎉 Happy Retirement, Mr. Michael D. Owens! 🎉

Today, we celebrate and thank Mr. Michael D. Owens for 10 years of dedicated leadership as principal of SCPA.

As both an alumnus and principal, Mr. Owens has devoted much of his life to the SCPA community. His commitment to students, artistic excellence, and educational opportunity has helped shape generations of young artists and scholars.

As he begins this next chapter, we leave you with his final words to the SCPA community:

"We are here for kids."

Thank you, Mr. Owens, for your leadership, service, and unwavering belief in our students. From the entire SCPA family—including fellow alumni, current students, staff, and families—we wish you a well-deserved retirement filled with happiness, health, and new adventures.
