Professionals who are going through the Batesville Leadership program visited Southside Schools to learn more about the programs offered. After touring the High School and hearing from Principal Hodges about the opportunities available to students, attendees gathered in the auditorium to hear from two seniors at Southside. The students talked about their future stories and how Southside Schools have provided them with the tools they need to pursue their goals. Superintendent, Mr. Stevens wrapped up the visit with a question and answer session and discussed the plans for the future of the school.

💙🎗💛SCHS walks for a cure! 💙🎗💛
Southside's Beta Club sponsored a mini Relay for Life Walk during advisory today. Each advisory group chose a special person to walk in honor/memory and created a banner. Beta Club dedicated the event to Kimberly Little, a sophomore at Southside, who is currently fighting her battle with cancer. Over $1100 was raised and given to Kimberly, her family, and the American Cancer Society.
"Let us lead by serving others." -National Beta Club motto





Educational trips are an integral part of learning at SCHS. With that in mind, Mr. Qualls recently led a small group to tour the Little Rock Air Force base in Jacksonville, Arkansas. Brady West, Alex Foster, Ben Paxson, Aiden Martin, Evan Bray, and Thomas Taylor had an opportunity to wear a bomb suit, sit in the cockpit, and watch an explosive ordinance disposal team demonstration.




SCHS would like to thank partner University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville for hosting the junior class for Preview Day. We had an excellent tour, along with an overview of the campus and programs of study. Lunch was great, and the students appreciated the shirts! Teachers heard many positive comments about their future stories as a result of the focus of this day. #bettertogether
