A great school feels different.

You notice it in the hallways, see it during lunch, and experience it during athletic events, performances, chapel, and classroom discussions.

The culture of a school shapes every part of the student experience.

“The vote is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have in a democratic society.” John Lewis Democracy in action at St. Barnabas Episcopal School! We are so grateful to the Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Office for partnering with us to conduct our Student Government Association (SGA) elections and give our students an authentic voting experience. At SBES, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Through experiences like these, our students are developing important life skills, learning the value of civic responsibility, understanding why every vote matters, and discovering the power of having a voice in their community. Congratulations to all of our SGA candidates! It takes courage to put yourself forward, share your ideas, and be willing to lead. We are proud of every student who stepped up to run and represent their fellow Crusaders. 💙 Thank you to the Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Office for investing in our students and helping us prepare the next generation of informed, engaged, and responsible citizens. We also appreciate our parent volunteers who helped to coordinate the event along with Mrs. Hickman. At St. Barnabas, we are building leaders for tomorrow, one meaningful experience at a time!

Welcoming our alumni home to St. Barnabas Episcopal School is truly special and heartwarming! Our SBES alumni returned to campus last night to mentor our middle school students, sharing their high school experiences at DeLand High School’s International Baccalaureate Programme (IB) and Father Lopez Catholic High School. Through their stories, advice, and encouragement, they helped our students and parents look ahead with confidence and excitement for the opportunities that await them. It is always heartwarming to see our alumni thrive and to witness the strong foundation of faith, character, and learning that began here at SBES continue to shape their journeys. 💙 Once a Crusader, Always a Crusader! 💙
