Sandia High School (SHS) is a Public High School located in the northeast heights of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is a member of the Albuquerque Public Schools district.The school opened in 1957. The originally proposed mascot name was Sandia Satan, which prompted negative reactions from the surrounding community. Thereafter, the name was changed to Matador. A matador sculpture was placed in the student commons area in 1961.
In the late 1970s, the school reached a record student population for the state of New Mexico.This led to the approval and construction of a newer facility, La Cueva High School, in the early 1980s.
In 2006, due to heavy flooding in the high desert environment of Albuquerque, the basement-level gymnasium of Sandia required extensive repair work. However it has been fully repaired, and is open for use to the students and staff.
