This quiet cluster of well-maintained residences centrally located between Grant Road, Mountain Avenue, Glenn Street and Campbell Avenue, is a cozy, close-knit section of town. Samos Neighborhood Association describes its community as “creative, eclectic, artistic” and “grassroots.” The urban Southwest never sounded better.
Samos’ institution of distinction is Salpointe Catholic High School, 1545 E. Copper St. The school offers students a “holistic education,” including robust college-preparatory courses and impressive fine arts programs. A Fall Jazz Band and String Orchestra Concert will be held in Salpointe’s Corcoran Theatre Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 7 pm and an Autumn Serenade fills Alumni Hall with choral music Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 7 pm. Theater students will surely shine in the fall play, William Gleason’s “Hit and Misdemeanor,” presented at Salpointe Oct. 28-30 and Nov. 3-6 for $10/adults and $7/students and children. The school is also hosting homecoming festivities and alumni reunion celebrations on Fri., Oct. 21. Visit the Lancers at Salpointe.org.
