The Desert Warriors

Santa Teresa High School is located in the southern end of Doña Ana County at 100 Airport Road, Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Our proximity to El Paso (¼ mile) and Juarez, Mexico (6 miles) provides our 1318 students with a unique setting that they  can call home. Santa Teresa High School first opened its doors as a high school in August, 1994 on the site of the former Santa Teresa Junior High School. The current campus is composed of a main building which houses the majority of the classrooms and the new library, a large vocational facility and three free-standing multi-classroom facilities, including a Naval ROTC building. In addition to the academic facilities, our campus has a nursing center, a New Mexico Department of Labor One-Stop Career Center, a peer counseling building, and facilities for softball, football, track, tennis, baseball, volleyball, soccer, and basketball as well as a new locker-room addition for our physical education classes and athletic teams. A new wing opened in Fall of 2004 which added 12 new classrooms and special education facilities. Our new cafetorium, with its large theater stage plus band and choir rooms, is the latest addition.

 

Our Community


 


The area in which Santa Teresa High School is located in an unincorporated area of the county with no formal governmental structure. Our school serves students from the City of Sunland Park and the unincorporated communities of Santa Teresa and La Union. The community which we serve is composed of farmland, residential areas, an industrial park, and numerous small business activities, primarily in the Sunland Park area. Currently, the major employment opportunities for our students are provided in the El Paso job market, but expansion of industrial and commercial growth in our community is inevitable.
