Recently, the High School Spanish Club sponsored a Red Ribbon Week poster contest. The winning poster - a creative iPod-style design with the message “iTune out drugs” - was a clever reminder to make positive choices and say no to drugs!
A huge thank you to our judges from Crowley’s Ridge Development Council - Kimberly Sims and Shania Doherty - along with teacher Cara Cloninger for selecting the winners. And thank you to Mrs. Roa, Spanish Club sponsor, for leading this meaningful activity.
Congratulations to all who participated — the posters were creative, thoughtful, and impressive across the board!

Our marching band represented Southside with pride at their first-ever State Marching Contest yesterday. They delivered their best performance when it mattered most and were named the 9th best band in the state among 48 4A schools.
Even more impressive — they outscored a third of the 7A schools (the largest classification). Our band truly showed up and made Southside proud!

Milestones and Motivation — Our Sophomores Are Planning for the Future!
Our 10th graders are taking important steps toward their future today! Representatives from Jostens and Lyon College’s Upward Bound program visited our high school to share about exciting opportunities ahead.
Jostens spoke about the tradition and pride of receiving a class ring — a milestone that celebrates achievements and the journey through high school.
Lyon College’s Upward Bound program helps students prepare for college by offering academic support, mentoring, and experiences that build confidence and readiness for life after graduation.
Our students are learning that planning for the future starts now — and the possibilities are endless!
