Greetings, Highland Park families. As part of our commitment to transparency, we want to address a rumor circulating about staffing levels at Barber Preparatory Academy.

Recently, a few community members have expressed concerns about an apparent loss of Barber Prep staff. First, we thank these individuals for keeping the well-being of our scholars front-of-mind. We view community members as full partners in our Children First mission.

BPA is currently working to fill several open positions. Four of these are entirely new positions necessary to accommodate growth and ensure that our scholars continue to receive the best education.

Recruitment for these positions is ongoing. Some have offers pending, while other candidates are completing pre-employment requirements. We’re excited to start the upcoming school year with a high quality, committed team ready to serve all Barber students.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Highland Park School District!
