Alma Mater - click HERE for song
In the mountains stately standing our Alma Mater true.
Of our best she is demanding, no less will ever do.
For all the Sauras who came before us and all there are to be,
we pledge our love and true devotion to South eternally.
Honors Recognition for Seniors
With the 10 point grading scale, we will no longer have a valedictorian and salutatorian; therefore, the county has updated the Honors Recognition policy to the following standards:
Cum Laude 4.0-4.199 weighted OR 3.8 unweighted
Magna Cum Laude 4.15-4.299
Summa Cum Laude 4.25 or higher
**All levels of honor graduates will be recognized with stoles at graduation.**
**We will recognize the Valedictorian & Salutatorian at Awards Day and they will be the keynote speakers at Graduation.**
