Santa Barbara Junior High School unveiled a new mural to commemorate its 90th graduating class. SBJH opened its doors in 1932 as the first junior high school in the City of Santa Barbara. The following year, artisans from the Works Progress Administration added the Marjorie Luke Theater.
To keep in the theme of the school’s mascot, the Condors, the mural highlights what makes students soar. The artwork features feathers created by students and staff that include decorations on the front and a statement about what makes them soar on the back.
