The Southside Scoop

Happy Homecoming Week

We are excited to kick off Homecoming Week at Southside High School! This is always a special time to celebrate our students, staff, alumni, and community who make Southside such a great place to be. I encourage everyone to join in the festivities, show your Panther pride, and support our students as they take part in the traditions that make Homecoming so memorable.

Thank you for always standing behind our school! Your support is what makes Southside strong. Let’s make this week one to remember and cheer our Panthers on to victory!

Happy Homecoming!
