Widely regarded as the district’s most successful high school, under the leadership of longtime principal Gif Lockley, SAA has made a name for itself as not only a place of academic success, but as a font of artistic and cultural contribution.
The centerpiece of the school’s calendar each year is the unique Junk 2 Funk fashion show, in which student designers and their models make amazing clothing lines all from repurposed/recycled materials.
Much like entry into SAA itself, Junk 2 Funk is one of the hottest tickets in town, and that’s due in large part to Lockley’s capable but always accessible leadership style.
