Principal's Letter

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Santa Fe Catholic High School website. First of all I want to thank you for taking a few minutes out to surf our website and to learn a little about Santa Fe. Our school Santa Fe Catholic is aptly named. “Santa Fe” means “Holy Faith” and the faith of the Catholic Church is the foundation of our school. It is indeed my honor and pleasure to lead such an exemplary school.

Our school is located on an unassuming campus in a small city and it rivals the best anywhere in Catholic spirit, mission, academic excellence and dedication of faculty and staff. We are indeed blessed to have this resource available to the young people in Polk County. For nearly half a century young people have benefited from a Santa Fe Catholic education. Our local community is a testament to our success. All around Lakeland, businesses are owned and operated by Santa Fe graduates.

The website is only a snapshot of the life at Santa Fe the motion picture version is even more exciting. Our students make me so very proud of their academic achievement, school spirit, athletic accomplishments and the deep level of caring and compassion they have for one another and our world.

Enjoy the website and if you have any questions about Santa Fe; please don’t hesitate to contact me at the school.

May all of God’s best blessings be yours,

Gwen Coté

Principal
