Athletics

Our Mission

WE believe it is the mission of the Santa Fe Independent School District Athletics Department to provide successful athletic experiences upon which participants can build life-long opportunities.

WE believe a successful athletic program establishes a winning atmosphere. enables students to participate at their highest level if ability, and fosters self-esteem, self discipline, self-confidence, and team spirit. Such a program also emphasizes abiding by the rules of play.

WE believe it is the district's responsibility to provide the athletic program with the necessary facilities, equipment, personnel, and support.

WE, the athletic staff of the Santa Fe Independent School District, are committed to doing whatever is necessary to accomplish this mission.
