Hello,
We may stay in Girona and take a flight out of Barcelona in the evening. We are considering the possibility of traveling into Barcelona in the morning and visting the Sagrada before the flight. However, we will need to store our luggage somewhere.
Are there secure storage options near the Sagrada Familia or even at the airport?

The train from Girona arrives at the main strain station Barcelona Sants. I'd store your luggage there and then go to the Sagrada Familia:

Then retrieve your luggage and take the train from Barcelona Sants to the airport

Revision to original question:
We now may choose to stay the night in Barcelona upon arrival and visit the Sagrada Familia and possibly Parc Guell the next day before taking a train to Girona in the evening.
Once we check out of the hotel, are there secure places where we can store our luggage?
Thank you.

As others have said the easiest option is to check out then ask the hotel to store your luggage. We have been in Spain for 57 days now and have done this numerous times. No hotel has ever said no.

How long is a piece of string? Who knows. It will all depend on the traffic. The metro is the easiest option.

"What is a rough estimate for the cost of a Taxi from the Barcelona Sants station to Sagrada Familia?"
Obviously depends on time of day, taxis in Barcelona operate on three fare bands. Probably between 8€ and 15€.
However, in most every instance the metro is a iot quicker. it takes around 10 minutes.
I live just around the corner from La Sagrada Familìa and use L5 several tines every week.Have never needed, in 20 years, to take a taxi to/from Sants as the metro is much more convenient. Enjoy your visit.

We were just in Barcelona and used the metro and a few buses to get everywhere. Waiting to enter the Sagrada Familia we heard a couple saying the had missed their entry time because they waited over an hour for a taxi. Definitely take the metro. One note, if you're entry is early the trains get full during morning commute.
