Welcome from our Superintendent
I am honored to introduce myself as the new Principal of Coachella Valley High School and to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year!
Over the past twenty years, I have served in various roles throughout our district—as a classroom teacher, academic coach, Assistant Principal, and most recently as the Principal of Cahuilla Desert Academy. These experiences have deepened my commitment to supporting all students and staff in a safe, inclusive, and engaging school environment. I am excited to bring that commitment to Coachella Valley High School and to continue building on its strong traditions of academic excellence and community involvement.
At the heart of our school is a mission that resonates deeply with me: to educate and assist students in realizing their full potential as responsible, productive, contributing members of society. This mission will guide every decision I make as principal. I am passionate about creating opportunities for all students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally while preparing for life beyond high school.
As we begin this new school year, I look forward to working together with you—students, families, and staff—to ensure every student feels supported and inspired to thrive. Please know that my door is always open, and I value your voice as we move forward together.
In Partnership,
Dr. Anna Santa Maria
CVHS Principal
