Saint Barbara School continues to proclaim its Catholic identity through times of societal challenges and changes through the sacrifices, dedication, devotion, and efforts of our school families, priests, sisters, lay teachers, staff and parishioners of Saint Barbara Parish.

When Saint Barbara School first opened in September, 1924, four Sisters of Saint Joseph were officially assigned to teach full time in the new building.  Those pioneers were:  Sisters Virginia, Elizabeth, Fidelis and Agatha – who hand carried all their supplies, books and lunches as they traveled daily from the Motherhouse in LaGrange.  In 1931, with school enrollment up to 300, two more classrooms and an assembly hall were added.
