A Message to our Families Jan. 28, 2025
Elijah Morlett

Dear SFS Families,

First, I want you to know that we consider it a privilege and honor to work with your family. The fact that you choose Santa Fe South for the education of your children is something that we do not take for granted. We are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside you to raise such strong, gifted young people.

In recent days, things have been moving fast as the new federal administration takes its turn at governing. I want to pass along a few things for us all to keep in mind as we continue to stay focused on the wellbeing and education of our Saints.

What we know to do:
- Keep calm, continue to provide safety, security, and an excellent learning environment.
- Hear the fears of our children and connect them with resources to help them process their concerns.|
- Assure parents that their children are safe and cared for at SFS Schools.

What we do not know:
- If anything will even change in any real way. We have had many such cycles where fear was the goal, and action otherwise was rare. We will work to discern anything that truly affects our families.
- If state or federal law will change but these changes take time and often have to work their way through the legislative process and legal system. 

What we will/will not do:
- We will not pass along unfounded rumors or be a part of fear-mongering. We will care for kids so that they are safe and in a posture to learn.
- We will not permit ICE or other law enforcement to operate on any SFS property without a court order or subpoena.
- In accordance with FERPA, we will not provide personal student information to anyone or any agency outside of SFS without a subpoena or court order.
- We will continue to provide excellent education for all who enroll, in keeping with the requirements of the US Constitution and Oklahoma State law. 

We encourage parents to continue to make sure all students are present at school where they will be safe, cared for and educated.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or if we can be of assistance to your family.
 

Respectfully,

Chris Brewster
Superintendent
Santa Fe South Schools

SFS High School FFA and Urban Ag Program Announced
Santa Fe South Schools

Starting this Fall, Santa Fe South High School will be the first charter school in Oklahoma with a Future Farmers of America (FFA) program. 

Though traditionally assumed to focus on rural agriculture, Santa Fe South High School will offer elective courses to introduce "urban agriculture" to its students. Students will also be able to participate in the school's first FFA program, which offers students leadership development and post-secondary opportunities in agriculture-adjacent education and career fields.
