Santa Fe South High School Oklahoma City, OK | 191-Day Contract (190 for returning employees)

Santa Fe South Charter Schools (SFS) is a free, public charter network that has served the south side of Oklahoma City for more than 20 years. Rooted in the communities we serve, SFS is committed to providing a challenging, student-centered education that prepares students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Guided by a belief in the potential of every student, Santa Fe South emphasizes strong instruction, meaningful relationships, and the development of life skills, self-confidence, and social responsibility. Our schools partner closely with families to ensure students are equipped to succeed in high school, college, careers, and an ever-changing global society.

Santa Fe South High School is the original campus of Santa Fe South Charter Schools—opened nearly 25 years ago with just 200 students and a bold belief that zip code should never determine destiny. Today, the school serves nearly 1,000 students in a beautiful, thoughtfully designed campus that helped bring new life to the Crossroads Mall area of Oklahoma City.

Students often describe Santa Fe South High School in one word:
