This national recognition is a testament to the work of our dedicated music department professionals. Mr. Cornelius, Mr. Diehl, and Mrs. Zerance - THANK YOU for sharing your love and passion for music with our students and inspiring their hard work and creativity.

South Side Middle School has earned a 13th consecutive year of recognition in the National

Congratulations!
