GET UP AND GET INVOLVED...LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD!!
Report Card Surveys - The Educational Accountability Act of 1998 specifies that “school report cards should include information in such areas as evaluations of the school by parents, teachers, and students.” Student, parent, and teacher opinion surveys have been designed to measure the perceptions of three (3) factors: Home and school relations, the school’s learning environment; the school’s social and physical environment. The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) survey window is now open for the administration of the 2021 Parent, Student, and Teacher Opinion Surveys. The results of the student, parent, and teacher survey for the annual state report card are included in the Student Safety section of the state report card.
All Southside High School parents, faculty, and students are expected to have the Opinion Surveys completed no later than Friday, April 30th. Please use the school's BEDS CODE: 2301018. Survey Links and Online Resources are listed below and on our Accountability & Quality Assurance department website.

SHS New Head Football Coach
Southside High School is pleased to announce Wilbur Roy Ravenell Jr.'s appointment as the new head football coach. Ravenell has an extensive background in coaching, including ten seasons as an assistant coach and defensive coordinator. His coaching experience also includes stints at Wade Hampton High School as an assistant coach and Greer High School as Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator. He played football at Stratford High school for legendary coach Ray Stackley. Southside Principal Dr. Andre M. Dukes said, "Coach Ravenell brings a wealth of football knowledge and experience to our football program. Coach Ravenell's passion for the game of football is contagious. Our student-athletes are fortunate to have him as their head coach.
He will bring a rare combination of openness, determination, and organizational prowess, and it is clear that he deeply understands this issue." Ravenell is known as an up-tempo personality with intelligence, as someone who can connect with his players but at the same time is going to be disciplined and demanding. Ravenell is a graduate of Furman University and holds a master's in mathematics education. Ravenell replaces SHS Head Coach Jeremy West, who accepted the position as athletic director/assistant principal at Westside High School in Anderson, SC.
