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

They are characterized by strong leadership, teachers who work together to improve curriculum and instruction, and a commitment to continuous improvement that is based on supporting the whole child through social, emotional, and academic growth. Congratulations!
