Our Mindset
At Santa Teresa High School, staff and students aim to "Be a Saint". This starts with mutual respect, holding ourselves to high achievement, and ensuring we exhibit a "Can Do" attitude. Saints respect the school campus by ensuring they clean up after themselves; we respect each other through open communication; and we respect our community by behaving appropriately when we are at Starbucks or Nobhill. Saints also strive for achievement by working hard, not giving up, and asking for help when we need it. Finally, Saints exhibit a "Can Do" attitude by trying new things (sports, clubs, etc...), honoring our commitments, and helping others. Our goal is to Be a Saint so that we can achieve a respectful, welcoming environment for all STHS students, staff, and community members.
BEaST Tickets
Santa Teresa High School's BEAST Ticket raffle is a bi-weekly event that celebrates students' exemplary behavior and achievements. Nominated by staff members, students have their names written on tickets for a chance to win enticing gift card prizes. This initiative not only recognizes individual efforts but also fosters a positive school culture where students are encouraged to excel and contribute positively to the community.
Staff members can find print-outs of the tickets in the button below. Drop off nominations in the front office in the box directly ahead of the principal's secretary to recognize your students... and give them a chance to win a gift card!
