South has a long tradition of academic excellence and a strong extracurricular program. Additionally, the community participates actively with South to provide an exemplary education for our children.
The South Science Olympiad team has participated in the Science Olympiad Competition since it was introduced in Illinois seventeen years ago. The South team has qualified for the state competition all seventeen years and for the national competition sixteen years. The basketball, cross country, and track teams have all qualified for state competitions. South's comprehensive speech and drama program includes opportunities for students to perform in plays and musicals as well as participate in interscholastic speech competitions.
South students come primarily from three elementary schools, Dryden, Windsor and Westgate. After their growth in middle school, they are well prepared to succeed in District 214's Rolling Meadows and Prospect High Schools.
