About Prep Forward

ELEVATING EXCELLENCE, INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE

Since its founding, Santa Fe Prep has existed for one reason: to open a world of possibilities to the talented youth of Santa Fe. Our students and teachers live, work, and learn in rapidly changing and challenging times. As we look toward the future, we want to ensure our students, our faculty, and our programming are set up for success so that we can continue to make an impact, engage in active education, and promote lives of uncommon purpose.

The 2025 Gala raises funds for PREP FORWARD, Prep's 60th Anniversary campaign. PREP FORWARD supports our students and our institution in four distinct ways:
