Alachua High School - now Santa Fe High

 

A school house was built in Alachua in 1895 on South Main Street on the site where. Alltel Telephone building was located. That building met the needs of the community for only a short time. In 1899 construction began on a new schoolhouse to be located on a four acre site on the hill where the Alachua Elementary School is now located. This three classroom building with an auditorium on the second floor was the first brick school building in Alachua County. It was dedicated on February 22, 1901 by state and county officials. Later a two story wing was added to accommodate more students when Newnansville School closed May 3, 1904. Alachua then became an eight teacher school. In the years that followed schools from the communities of Haynsworth, Greenleaf, Hague, Gracy, Perseverance, Spring Hill, Santa Fe, Bland and LaCrosse were sequentially consolidated into the Alachua School.

Alachua High School 1917

 

'The old two story school buildmg built in 1889 - 1901 was torn down in 1933 and in its place was a long one story building that housed all grades one through six, with an auditorium large enough to seat all the students one through twelve. On July 28, 1916, the Alachua County School Board voted to build a new two story building just west of the existing building at a cost of $12,600.00. This new building was completed in 1917 and served as a high school for thirty years. This is the one we all remember as Alachua High School, per H J Waters. In 1955 the high schools of Alachua and High Springs were consolidated into Santa Fe High. The school mascot was originally the Rebels, but was later changed to the Raiders in 1970 when integrated. In 1955 the high schools of Alachua and High Springs were consolidated into Santa Fe High School and the site became the Alachua Elementry School.
