Don't take it from us, take it from the students! "Sports are a major part of school, so it’s important that schools have a lot of options and variety so that students can explore the different types of activity they might like. Thanks to Southside, I got to discover cross country. Southside has an amazing cross country team. Even though I wasn’t always excited to run miles, I still enjoyed going to practices and meets, and getting to meet new people and make connections. Overall, cross country was an amazing experience for me. It brought me a lot of joy and I actually made a lot of new friends. I have some great memories from cross country season, like winning the conference meet! I can’t wait until next year to do it all over again. Cross country is only one of many sports Southside has to offer, there’s still a lot more to discover and explore!!" - 7th Grade Student, Madelyn Herrin Madelyn said it best, there is so much to discover and explore at Southside!
