The 50-year history of Community Day School is made up of the countless experiences, moments, and relationships that tell our CDS story. That’s why we are inviting you to help us build a digital time capsule to collect fondest memories, precious photos and videos, and personal anecdotes from students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members. Share your favorite school memories and memorabilia with the CDS family and browse these stories and images that are forever a part of the fabric of our school!

About the Time Capsule

Our History

In 1972, a group of parents first organized Community Day School as a non-denominational Jewish day school, located in the old Hebrew Institute building situated at the corner of Forbes and Denniston avenues in Squirrel Hill.

Beginning with only Kindergarten and Grade 1, under the leadership of principal Jackie Tucker, one grade was added each year through the 8th Grade.amnd 

Favorite traditions like Zimriah (Hebrew song festival) and Round Hill Farm field trips started in the 1970s, along with Friday Kabbalat Shabbat services.
