South Side recently had the privilege of welcoming Chris Herren to speak with our middle and high school students. His honesty, vulnerability, and powerful message about the realities of substance abuse made a deep impact on everyone in the room.
Chris encouraged our students to think about their choices, prioritize their well-being, and lean on the people who care about them.
We’re grateful to Chris for spending time with our school community and for the meaningful conversations that followed. Thank you to our staff and students for engaging with openness and respect.

CONGRATULATIONS SPONGEBOB CAST & CREW! This weekend, our very first Middle School Musical at South Side Area School District made a SPLASH—and what an unforgettable debut it was!
A huge congratulations to the cast and crew of SpongeBob The Musical Jr.! From the high-energy performances to the colorful storytelling, every student on stage and behind the scenes brought Bikini Bottom to life with talent, dedication, and heart. We couldn’t be prouder of our Middle School performers for setting the bar incredibly high for future productions.
A special thank you and BIG congratulations to our High School Musical Theater Tech class, who designed, created, and managed sets, props, lights, blocking, choreography, vocals, organization, audio, costumes, and so much more. They quite literally ran the entire show—and they did it with professionalism, creativity, and pride.
Thank you to our directors, staff, families, and volunteers who supported the show from start to finish.
And thank you to our amazing audiences for cheering on our students all weekend long!
Here’s to many more Middle School musicals to come!
