About Us
At South, we are what we honor, monitor, and pay attention to. Our award-winning faculty have worked hard and committed resources to guaranteeing a very strong and diverse curriculum, which includes a high assortment of college prep, dual college credit and AP courses along with a wide array of elective classes that cover everything from music and art to technology. This diverse curriculum is visible in the high levels of SAT and AP success that our students achieve. We outperform schools similar in size both in scores and, more importantly, in the number of students we have taking the SAT and AP courses. We have committed to a collaborative system in which all students can learn because completing high school is the key to moving on and moving forward. Our graduates assure us that they have been well-prepared for both college and career opportunities after high school. We could go on and on about our school, but instead, we invite you to join us.
We look forward to meeting you, and encourage you to always: Have pride in yourself, and the Panthers!
National Model PLC
We are proud to be recognized as a National Model PLC School. Being recognized requires us to collaboratively ensure that we have mapped curriculum, created common assessments and provided individualized supports for students when needed. Part of this process included creating a system to provide timely, direct and systemic support and enrichment to every student in the school four times a week.Schools from around the country have visited this Panther Plus program because they realize the importance of the model. These supports are in addition to traditional class time, so no student ever misses direct instruction to get help. Our practices have led to over 95% of our students graduating every year, which is far above the state and national averages.

- Over 75% (state average is 61%) graduates take the SAT and average 1198 (state average is 1073)
