This fund, named in honor of retired Principal Frank English supports our goal of continuing to provide personalized, high-quality care for the needs of our students in our inclusion program.
As a community, St. Barts fosters and celebrates Christian values-- instilling in our students the importance of character, integrity, service and compassion-- all of which Mr. English demonstrated with great consistency and tenacity. We hope that you will consider making a gift this October in honor of Mr. English's birthday and Down Syndrome Awareness Month.​
