Principal’s Message
Principal Davis brings educational leadership and a passion for creativity, inspiring our TK-4 Beagles to ignite, imagine, and inspire at the Barstow Fine Arts Academy.
Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members,
Welcome to Barstow Fine Arts Academy, where imagination is ignited, talents are discovered, and every child is inspired to shine. As a TK–4th grade visual and performing arts elementary school, we believe creativity is a powerful pathway to academic excellence and lifelong success. We do not just teach—we inspire possibility—integrating the arts into daily learning to empower students to think boldly, express themselves confidently, and reach beyond what they thought possible. Our classrooms are filled with curiosity, innovation, and joy, where every learner is encouraged to explore, create, and grow.
Our dedicated staff is committed to nurturing the whole child in a safe, inclusive, and vibrant environment, celebrating each student’s unique gifts while fostering strong character, meaningful connections, and a lifelong love of learning. Together with our families and community, we build a culture of belonging and pride where our Beagles discover who they are, embrace their potential, and grow as confident learners, creative thinkers, and future leaders ready to make a difference.
Warm regards,
Elizabeth Davis | Principal
