Admissions 2023-2024 NOW OPEN
Admissions applications for prospective students (2023-2024 academic year) are officially open as of TODAY!

Reminder to APPLY EARLY if you have a sibling not currently enrolled. Current families are given priority for admissions consideration, but applying early is key.

Currently enrolled St. B’s students will NOT need to submit a new application for the 2023-24 academic year. 

Interested in helping us grow? Check out our Parent Ambassador page and contact Kirsten Perdue to get involved, or if you have any questions about our Admissions process.
Stingers Squad Pick Up Reminders: MAIN CAMPUS- If you plan to pick up your Stingers Squad (NON-CLUB) students between 4:20 and 4:40, please head to the FRONT OFFICE to get them. Please do NOT join the carpool line OR enter the blacktop gate area, as that area is reserved for parents picking up students participating in clubs that release at 4:30.

1st-4th grade Club Carpool Reminders: Please have your club car tag displayed in your window when you arrive for pick up so we can direct you to the correct location.
