Superintendent
Welcome to the Barnstable Public Schools’ Superintendent’s Page.
A Winter Message
Winter greetings to Barnstable Faculty, Staff, Families, and Community Members!
I hope that you and your families and friends enjoyed the holiday season as we welcome in a new year: 2025. I continue to feel gratitude for the opportunity I have to be the Superintendent of Barnstable Public Schools. As I complete my first three years here in the District, I find myself reflecting on some early milestones. I am so proud of the work our faculty and staff are doing and I value the relationships I have with members of the Barnstable community. We are making solid gains in the implementation of a new literacy program in our K-5 schools. The Barnstable Intermediate School just hosted a highly successful Showcase Night to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the curriculum, quality of the professional staff, and wealth of co-curricular opportunities (e.g. field trips, athletics, clubs). The Barnstable High School Program of Studies was just accepted by the School Committee and demonstrates how BHS has the MOST COMPREHENSIVE set of offerings on the Cape and Islands.
We value the relationships and partnerships within the community as you work together in partnership to support our students. Happy 2025!
Sincerely,
Sara Ahern
Proud Superintendent of the Barnstable Public Schools
