The San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts was established in 1978 under the leadership of Florence Johnson and Ole Kittleson. As a result of a court mandate, SCPA was one of San Diego Unified School District’s first magnet schools created to facilitate voluntary integration. In the Fall of 1982, SCPA relocated to the former Mabel E. O’Farrell site in Southeast San Diego and became known as the O’Farrell School of Creative and Performing Arts. As the program grew in popularity, it became inevitable that SCPA would require a new facility to meet the demands of this unique and successful new school. In the Fall of 1990, SCPA moved to its new, permanent site and became known as the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts.
