My daughter finished high school in 2009 and until now not received the diploma, her name is Amanda DeAlmeida, I wonder what is happening, since we were at school several times and they told us they would send the certificate in our address, would like a reply, thank you, Amanda's mother

I graduated from south high. It was a great experience. You meet people from all different backgrounds and situations. And as for no walls, if you want to learn, you can learn. Period. And if it is hard, most teachers are willing to put in the extra time if the student is also willing.

Outstanding principal and staff. Teachers are always in process of becoming better educators through various forms of professional development and trainings. Building has challenges because of it's 'open construction', but has been updated periodically.

South High has a bad rep altogether. The no walls and its past history dont help. but look on the bright side. im going to be a junior next year. so far ive had the best teachers i could ask for. yeah the no walls can be distracting but you get used to them. and its hard to not be proud of my school. as a student in the Goddard Scholars Program, i do meet kids from other academies and i see how hard a lot them try. the school is not a total waste. just a few minor adjustments and people wont be giving us a bad rep :]

Way too easy, kids are very distracting, the no walls are a huge distracting.. which just adds to the craziness of the school. The only good things about the school is the Goddard Scholars program and the AP courses. Those are the only somewhat challenges a kid could come across in that school.

Hey, people call me by my nickname, Tony. I have to keep this comment short because of the 150 word limit. First off, the bad qualities: the structure of the school is poorly arranged - there are NO walls in the majority of the areas of the school save for a few rooms with absolutely no ventilation whatsoever. It is easy to get lost in the corridors unless you are a student attending the school. The gym is acceptable but the auditorium, where most of the school performances and seminars take place, is a mess. The seats are dirty while the stage needs its wood flooring replaced, as well as the lights. But on to the good part. The teachers are absolutely the best teachers a student can have. The best teachers in the school only teach the honors students, plus the Goddard Scholars (which I am a part of).

im currently a junior at south high school. im in the esg academy, and i love it =]. there are many fun extra ativities including sport teams, drama club, mathletes, and many others. i play field hockey&softball in the spring and i love it, the coaches are amazing. they start from the basics to the hard. the teachers&students there also very nice. especially the teachers there really nice&helpful. just because we have the school with no walls doesnt mean anything. it is a very well known school who tries there best in every thing.

Some consider South High to be ghetto and full of failure, but it is so much more than that. South High has the most AP courses offered in the city, and additional ones are hosted online through VHS. The school offers a variety of sports such as track, cross country, basketball, field hockey, tennis, soccer, etc. Extracurricular activites such as math team, drama club, ballroom dance, science and engineering club, robotics, black student and so much more are available to students. Classes such as art, band, piano, and chorus are offered. These programs are not just there in quantity, but give the students tools to suceed. Some of the sports teams go to districts; the football team won the Super Bowl in 2006. The math team are among the top scorers in the WOCOMAL League. Graduates have gone to Ivy League schools. It's all there; students get what they put in.

South High is a wounderful school! It has small accadamy's for the students to learn better and feel safe. Other schools should take a look at South and learn from them!
