Santana High School, located in La Puente, California, is a continuation high school within the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District. As a continuation school, its primary mission is to provide an alternative educational path for students who may have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school setting.

The school emphasizes a smaller, more intimate campus setting that allows for closer relationships between students and faculty. By utilizing targeted instruction and often smaller class sizes, Santana High focuses on addressing the unique academic and social-emotional needs of its student body. The goal of the school is to re-engage students in their education, foster academic accountability, and provide the resources—such as career guidance and credit acceleration—needed to ensure that all students earn their high school diploma.
