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.
