History

The district was a petitioner of the United States Supreme Court case Santa Fe Independent School Dist. v. Doe , which held that student-led, student-initiated prayer at football games violates the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution.

In 2018, 10 people were killed in the Santa Fe High School shooting.

From the 2017-2018 to the 2018-2019 school years, the enrollment declined by 200 students, with about 100 fewer students at the high school. The shooting and Hurricane Harvey were both factors in the decline. [3]
