St. Barnabas Elementary School, Bronx

St. Barnabas Elementary School, Bronx St. Barnabas Elementary School "Excellence & Tradition Since 1913" The beginning of February 1913 saw a great new activity in the life of St. Barnabas Parish.

Sister Mary Bertille Garrity, Sister Gertrude Marie Callahan and Sister Agnes Marion Cummings had arrived to undertake the establishment of a school and began registering students on the Feast of the Epiphany. In total, 76 children were registered on the opening day. They were divided into three grades and classes began in the basement of the Church. Their classrooms were meager, with walls painte

d black to be used as blackboards. However, with registration growing, the Church basement quickly became inadequate and so a frame school building of two classrooms was constructed and made ready for the September 1913 term. Sister Bertille had grander plans and would brook no limitations. She proposed a permanent school building. War rumblings in Europe, and conservative growth in the area, curbed her aspirations and a single hall with six classrooms and a principal’s office was approved. On May 16, 1915 the cornerstone was laid and on April 13, 1916 John Cardinal Farley dedicated the new building. Another milestone occurred in 1916 as our parish celebrated its fifth anniversary. We could now boast of a fully graded school ready to graduate a first class of 30 boys and girls in June. Some names from that graduating class are: Mary Barrett, Gertrude Brennan, Frances Cotter, Helen Spiehler, Edna Klein, Josephine Mullen, Rosalie Lynch, William Kavanaugh and Walter Lundrigan. Edna Klein and Rosalie Lynch both became Sisters of Charity.

Thanks to innovative thinking by St. Barnabas School principal, Jonathan Morano, a classroom full of computers were “upcycled” benefiting our common home and a group of children halfway around the world. Morano worked with Father Joseph Akunaeziri, a Nigerian born priest who serves at St. Barnabas parish, to ship 38 computers to the De-Gifts School, a local Catholic school in Lagos, Nigeria. The units recently arrived and are already being put to good use! Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of New York
