Sarah Barber is a senior at DGS and is in her second year on staff. This year, she is the Online Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Blueprint. In addition to journalism, Barber competes with the DGS varsity speech team and is involved with Operation Snowball, Mad Dash and masque and gavel. 

In the future, Barber hopes to attend either Boston College, Villanova University or Northeastern University. As of now, she is undecided in the field of liberal arts, leaning towards international relations, criminal psychology or pre-law. 

Outside of school, Barber works over the summer at Cypress Cove Family Aquatic Water Park as a lifeguard and swim instructor, additionally, she volunteers at Feed My Starving Children. When she isn’t working or studying, Barber can be found spending time with her family, thinking about work she hasn’t done yet and organizing.
