DELBARTON SCHOOL
Based in Morristown, NJ, Delbarton School, is an independent Roman Catholic learning community conducted by the Benedictine monks of St. Mary’s Abbey with their lay colleagues. It invites young men in grades 7-12 from diverse backgrounds to pursue excellence, to develop leadership, and to build character by educating the whole person; mind, body and spirit. Since Students Bridging the Information Gap was founded in 2008, we have worked closely with the leadership of Delbarton School including former Abbot Giles Hayes, current headmaster Father Michael Tidd and current Abbot Richard Cronin.
We have held five book drives in conjunction with Delbarton School and have cumulatively shipped over 8,000 books to the SBIG supported schools in Ghana including BASCO (2008), Good Shepherd Orphanage (2009), New Life (2010), and In My Father’s House (2011). Together these schools reach about 2,100 students and orphans each year.
In addition, many Delbarton Students including: Abdel Banda, Thomas Killian, Alex Balog, Mickey Moran, Andew Soulas, Tom Hanley, Kenny Nyameke, Brendan Barry, Matthew McNamara, Matthew Killian, Kevin Lewis, and David Lewis have participated in one or more of the SBIG mission trips to Ghana to work with the four schools and orphanages supported by SBIG.
