My experience at Shawnee Mission South has been nothing but positive, it's all about what you make of the experience. Staying involved through sports, clubs, and electives is vital to making your high school experience a blast. My biggest recommendation for anyone going to South would be to join the cross country team. The distance team is just one happy family that is so welcoming and fun! Even if you aren't into running, there is something for everyone! Games clubs, interact volunteering club, student council organization, student unions, and so many more. Academically, South is really what you make of it. You can skate by taking easy classes or challenge yourself to get better with AP and honors courses. The teachers are always willing to help and excited to hear about your life. I wouldn't have picked any other school! #SOUTHCULTURE
Shawnee Mission South High School has a multitude of class types and the Shawnee Mission School District allows students to move between schools to participate in classes that are limited to one school. Shawnee Mission South has a great culture where we try to build each other up and encouraging everyone to chase after their dreams no matter how difficult it may be. Sources of Strength, an outside program that enables students to tackle mental health and gives them tools to help themselves and to help others, is a great program that teaches students to be both leaders and members of a team. Along with having Sources, lots of volunteer opportunities are available to students whether it is for the environment, to help promote mental health, or to help social services.
I love it because they are so outgoing and have so much school spirit! The staff are some of the most amazing teachers I’ve ever had and even the officers, and janitors have been so good to the students of south. Ido think they need to relax on some rules. I feel as though times are changing and teenaged are a lot different now. I believe students should be able to leave for lunch no matter what grade, especially considering covid circumstances.
