St. Michael's High School is a private Catholic junior/senior high school located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the state capital of New Mexico. It is privately run under the auspices of the international Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, better known as the De La Salle Christian Brothers. St. Michael's High School is founded on the LaSallian tradition, established by St. John Baptist de la Salle, and continues to operate according to the five core principles of the Lasallian tradition: Faith in the Presence of God, Respect for All Persons,Quality Education, Concern for the Poor and Social Justice, and Inclusive Community.
St. Michael's High School was established in 1859 and is currently located at 100 Siringo Road in Santa Fe. The school includes two gymnasiums, athletics fields, and facilities for many other activities.Prior to the construction of the school at its Siringo Road location, the high school and appurtenant boarding facilities were located on an historic campus on the Old Santa Fe Trail, just east of the current State Capitol. Still located adjacent to the Old Santa Fe Trail campus is the San Miguel Mission, reputed to be the oldest church west of the Mississippi River, which is owned and overseen by St. Michael's High School. The Mission is currently undergoing conservation work.
In [1968, the school was moved to the current facility and began admitting young women upon the closing of Loretto Academy. St. Michael's teaches grades 7 through 12 and has an enrollment of approximately 755 students. About 70% of the students identify as Catholic.
St. Michael's is known for a strong academic program, including Advanced Placement classes, very dedicated and caring faculty and a highly successful athletic department. The school has a president/principal structure and is overseen by a Board of Trustees.
