Congratulations to our 2022 Jack Tygett Scholarship Winners! Andree Reynoso $1000 Sergio Sanchez Diaz $1000 Izabella Vasquez $1000 Karen Meave $500 Izabella Perez $500 Sarah Claire Balatbat $500 |
The Jack Tygett Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Jack Tygett and his strong belief in the arts! Jack Tygett was an amazing man who was an inspiration to thousands of students in the Sweetwater district as well as an icon in the San Diego theater community. He worked tirelessly, along with his colleagues, to create the SCPA program for the Sweetwater District, and his expertise in theater arts contributed immensely to the success of this model Arts program over a span of nearly 30 years.
In addition to his incredible teaching career, Mr. Tygett had a professional career on stage and screen, dancing in over 30 movies, including "Mary Poppins" and "Oklahoma," and with the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Fred Astaire. He was also a professional director and choreographer, sharing his talents and wealth of experience with the Old Globe, Starlight, Moonlight, Lawrence Welk, and La Jolla Stage Company Theaters. Mr. Tygett was instrumental in starting the Musical Theater program at USIU, which drew talented students from all over the country, including Jamie Fox. Jack Tygett was originally hired as the first dance teacher at Del Rey High School in 1976, and was one of the major forces behind the big SUHSD summer musical productions. Some of the words used to describe this man by all who knew him include - gracious, kind, humble, caring, positive, appreciative, rigorous, energetic, professional, motivating and generous with his time. He was a person who gave much of himself to the Sweetwater district and never asked for or expected anything in return. He was the "heartbeat" of the SCPA from the very beginning and his memory still touches us with his kind and gentle spirit. We are proud to have our PAC named after him and it is a privilege to be able to offer scholarships to young aspiring artists in his honor! |
