    "South has provided an amazing experience for my 2 kids. The teachers are dedicated and excellent, and there are academic challenges for everyone. The counselors and staff advocate for the kids and are proactive in communication. The united nations demographic has given my kids a greater understanding of cultures beyond and within our borders, and a deeper appreciation and empathy for people not as fortunate as themselves. My son continues to talk with reverence about international day and the beauty of the various dances and clothing/costumes exhibited that day. Our principle was personally acknowledged by the president in his state of the union address for her excellent leadership. My devotion and flat out reverence for South will last the rest of my life. My children's brains have been challenged and coaxed in a nurturing, secure environment of cooperation and global culture. When another parent first told me about this school (not our home school), she actually got teary, and she worked for another high school in the same district. I am so grateful she said something to me."

    "South has not only a diverse student body, but an inclusive one. You can tell that the students, teachers, and administration enjoy one another and work hard to make it a welcoming place for all. My son has had wonderful educational opportunities both academic and social. When there have been challenges the teachers have been right there supporting and advising. When he excels the teachers take time out to not only let him know, but call me and let me know. Moving him from a magnet school to South was the best decision we ever made for his academic success. I know when it comes time for him to head to college he will be well prepared."

    "I had a senior graduate in May (begins college in the fall) and another student who will continue on as a junior. The classes are small, the teachers are well prepared and experienced, and they really care about their students. I have always been able to talk to a teacher with any questions or concerns; they make it a point to be available to students and parents. The SHS athletics program also gives us something to cheer about. Reading online reviews is great, but the best way to see what's going on is to visit the campus and maybe even take time to attend a PTSA meeting. It will be time well spent."

    "An excellent neighborhood school with an extremely diverse student body. It offers the programs of a big school but has the feel of a small school. It's small enough that kids can try a variety of activities and find their passions by participating in sports, drama, clubs, and many other activities. Teachers have been excellent. Plenty of rigor but very little snobbishness."

    "My oldest daughter just graduated and she is more than prepared for college, she was accepted to every university she applied for. Like a previous parent mentioned big enough school for plenty of opportunity but small enough to get to participate in all activities. My youngest is in 10th grade & enjoys school. Both my Girls have friends from all over the world. Teachers are proactive in their students education"
