After more than forty years of teaching, educating, and mentoring, Dave Masterson, Chaffey High School Department Chair for the Visual and Performing Arts, retired on May 22, 2020. Over the course of 25 seasons, Masterson produced 45 theatrical shows and played to over 300,000 people – a milestone for any theatre and especially for a high school.
Niki Rapattoni ’58 and 2020 Tiger of the Year, and donor since 2012 of the annual Rapattoni CHS Drama Scholarship has acted as liaison between CHSAA and Dave. Recently Dave provided Niki with links to the You Tube videos of his theatrical productions from 1998 to his retirement in 2019.
Using funds donated to the Gardiner W. Spring Auditorium fund, CHSAA has been assisting the theatre arts department with capital equipment upgrades for decades. CHSAA intends to continue supporting CHS Theatre Arts in the future.
