Former Vice President Al Gore speaks with members of the SBMS Teen Press at the SB International Film Festival, February 3, 2007.

“I am living in Farmington New Mexico and I am enrolled in the renewable energy program at San Juan College. My most memorable experience during my time with Middle School was on the Four Corners trip. At Chaco Canyon we met in a very large kiva and every person on that trip was able to fit inside. After the talk, we started playing music. People were playing drums and guitars. Other kids began to dance. The feeling in the air was one of the most magical and powerful I have ever felt. My whole experience at Middle School was one that I will never forget.” Go Solar!”

--Chris Dabney, Class of 1996

"I am at a Junior Statesman of America conference and over one-third of the twenty-eight Santa Barbara High School delegates are graduates of SBMS. These ten young men and women began their adolescence at SBMS. The real success, however, is that they continue on to become responsible citizens of a larger community. They are the legacy of SBMS, more so now than when they were students there."
