Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the flag,
and to the United States of America,
And to the republic for
Which it stands, one nation
Under God, indivisible,
With liberty and justice for all.

ALMA MATER
PITTSBURGH CAPA 6-12
Art is a call to adventure,
A chance to challenge yourself,
A bold leap into the future –
At Pittsburgh CAPA 6-12.
(Bridge)
The power of imagination
Art makes us feel.
A vision of our own creation –
Art makes it real.
The paths and patterns we design
Are legacies by which we’re known.
At Pittsburgh CAPA you will find
A school, a studio, our home.

“On behalf of the members of the Pittsburgh
Board of Education and staff of the School
District, I want to congratulate our graduates as
they celebrate the successful conclusion of their
high school experience. But ‘Commencement’
means ‘beginning’ rather than ‘the end,’ and so
we encourage each student to continue to
Dream Big and Work Hard so that they have the
opportunity to succeed in all aspects of life.”
Linda S. Lane
Superintendent of Schools
