St. Dunstan's Episcopal High School was a K-12 on St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands. St. Dunstan's was founded as a K-12 in 1959 by a committee of parishioners from St. John's Episcopal Church. Among them a church layreader Dr. and his wife Edith Gereau Bond. Dr. Richard Bond suggested the name chosen for the school. As a result of competition with other private and parochial schools St. Dunstan's folded about thirty five years later.
The Episcopal Diocese of the Virgin Islands continues to own the St. Dunstans campus. The Diocese is open to reopening the school depending on demand. In the interim the property has been converted into a hostel with priority going to disaster victims and relief workers if one occurs. It is available for weekly group rental other wise.
The school was also championed by prominent educator Mrs. Elena L. Christian who also served on the board through the early 1980s while also a member of the clergy at St.John's Episcopal Church, Christiansted, St. Croix, USVI. Elena Christian was also the mother of physician and politician Donna Christian-Christensen.
