Statement from the Oceanside Unified School District

It is with great “Pirate Pride” that the Oceanside Unified School District opens the Oceanside High School Performing Arts Center.

The 29,000 square feet, state-of-the-art facility was designed as a learning and performance space for the students and community of Oceanside. The facility includes a 502-seat main theater, a black box theater, indoor and outdoor scenery shops, classroom space, a recording studio and outdoor seating and performance areas.

Thank you to the community of Oceanside, who entrusted the district with Proposition H Bond Funds to construct the $24 million

facility we are sitting in tonight. Thanks to the voters, our kids will develop skills that will last a lifetime and discover talents that will lead to careers.

Thank you to Architect Harley Ellis Devereaux for seeing what this project could be and to Erickson-Hall Construction Company for making that vision a reality.

On behalf of the Oceanside Unified School District Board of Education, the district and Oceanside High School, welcome to the Oceanside High School Performing Arts Center. Enjoy the show!

– Dr. Duane Coleman, Superintendent

The Oceanside High School Foundation welcomes you to the new OHS Performing Arts Center. This long-awaited Performing Arts Center opens another chapter for the bright future and excellence of OHS. As OHS continues to grow and develop with the times, we are certain this facility will continue to strengthen and enrich our students, staff, and community.

Tonight you will see a number of performers who have been influenced by Oceanside High School come together to offer not just an evening of entertainment, but a lifetime of enjoyment for the world to appreciate.

OHS Foundation is a proud sponsor of this gala event. Helping to promote tonight’s grand opening only goes to further advance our vision and mission. As a non-profit organization, our purpose is to raise funds for the benefit of the students and staff of Oceanside High School. These benefits include but are not limited to scholarships,

student programs, classroom supplies, and capital improvements to the school. We also serve as a liaison and database for alumni and their respective graduating classes. Another aspect of the OHS Foundation is to maintain the OHS archives located in the school’s library, preserving over 100 years of priceless memorabilia. We also host and keep alive the OHS Hall of Fame recognizing past OHS graduates and their local, national and/or international accomplishments. Your attendance and support here tonight helps to maintain this purpose. Thank you.

Please consider becoming a member of the OHS Foundation as we continue to support and encourage all aspects of this great school. Membership information is available in tonight’s program and through our website at www.ohsfoundation.org.
