60th Anniversary. Michael Behar '77 produced a wonderful
short video tribute for SHA's diamond anniversary and you can
view it by clicking on the YouTube Video Box on the top right

The celebration of 60 years and our multifaceted alumni
continues with these upcoming events! Please join us! Both
events are free!

It was wonderful to host a group of alumni at our SHA Alumni
Luncheon this December. For a couple of alumni, it was their
first time back in the building since their days at SHA, long
before the earthquake and subsequent retrofit and remodel! I
love seeing the looks of surprise when alumni tour the school,
top to bottom, and realize that there are no 'off limit' floors! I
will remind you again that you don't need to wait for a reunion
to visit SHA. Stop in anytime for a scheduled or impromptu
visit.
