South Point High School exceeded its academic growth expectations for the 2025-2026 year. We also achieved a B school performance grade, and we increased our graduation rate to above 94 percent. All of this means we are moving in the right direction toward higher academic achievement!

South Point High School is dedicated to academic excellence, student success and school pride. Students can take Advanced Placement (AP) and college-level courses, participate in fine arts programs like band, chorus and visual arts, engage in career and technical education, and develop leadership skills through our Navy JROTC program.

We are proud of our marching band and appreciate what the band brings to our football games on Friday nights. Be sure to take in a game this fall and support the Red Raiders.

The South Point High School girls golf team won consecutive state championships in 2024 and 2025.

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
