A Tradition of Excellence
South has a long tradition of academic excellence and a strong extracurricular program. The South Science Olympiad team has participated in the Science Olympiad Competition since it was introduced in the state nineteen years ago, and the South team has qualified for the state competition all nineteen years and for the national competition eighteen years. South also has an excellent math team, and the basketball, cross country, and track teams have qualified for state competitions. South's comprehensive speech and drama program includes opportunities for students to perform in plays and musicals and participate in interscholastic speech competitions. South also has a very active community service group called the "Caring Cardinals."
A New Facility
