The Legacy of Saint Barnabas Alumnae Today!

For many years the Alumnae of Saint Barnabas High School have generously supported the education of young women through their financial support. Saint Barnabas is happy to acknowledge this generous spirit which has not only helped sustain the school itself for over 84 years, but has also helped to sustain many of the more than 4,000 graduates of the high school since 1924.

In order to help continue this necessary assistance to deserving students, we would like to acknowledge those who have made Saint Barnabas the wonderful place it has been, and those members of the new generation of ‘Barnabites” who lead us into the future.
