Information recently communicated by the district about upcoming open houses and school requests does not apply to current high school students. Our South High families do not need to submit a placement request to stay enrolled. MPS will be sending further clarification.

Next fall, the South High school day will start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. (A slight change, as our day currently runs 8:20 a.m.-3 p.m.) Districtwide, bell times were adjusted to achieve goals outlined in this letter from Principal Stringer.
