Alumnae

SFGS graduates are routinely invited to attend any high school they choose and we are gratified that, year in and year out, 77% choose public high schools. They are accepted there as academic and social leaders and have been enthusiastic to take advantage of AP classes and the energy of a larger student body. Our first graduating class entered college in 2005. Our eleventh graduating class chose Santa Fe High, Desert Academy, New Mexico School for Arts, Albuquerque Academy, Santa Fe Prep, and St. Michaels. Based on past experience, they can expect an array of colleges to be available to them. Our alumnae have attended Bard, Cornell, American University, Smith, Harvard, Carlton College, and Lewis & Clark, among many other top schools. More than 99% of SFGS graduates attend college.

Check back here often to find out what’s happening with SFGS graduates. We expect to create an online environment for them to share their memories of SFGS, their accomplishments, and their future plans.

Testimonials:
Moriah Major, a tenth grader at Santa Fe Prep writes, “Santa Fe Girls’ School over-prepared me for any school, if there is such a thing. Even more important, they gave me the confidence to excel.”

Alexandra Gentsh, a tenth grader at Santa Fe High, writes: “Santa Fe Girls’ School’s standard for excellence is what prepared me most for high school. The most important thing the staff does is teach their students about work ethic. Among other things, they stress that the only one who can learn for you is you. And if you want your teachers to respect and help you, you must understand that they expect you to behave respectfully and help keep the classroom a place to learn.”
