• Welcome Class of 2027!

     

    A Welcome from South Administrative Team:

    Dr. Luke Almon, Principal

    Welcome to South Anchorage High School! 

    At South, we pride ourselves on a positive, team-oriented environment, and seek to provide students with the opportunity to work hard, develop resilience, and fulfill their potential. Part of that process is giving students a chance to follow both an academic and extra-curricular pathway throughout their high school years. That may consist of the arts, music, debate, engineering, ROTC, clubs, volunteer programs, and athletics. No matter the course, we encourage all students to find something about which they are passionate, and a group of students and supportive adults with whom they can pursue it. 

     

    Ms. Jocelyn Hemenway, Curriculum Principal

    Mr. Chris Ruggles, Activities Principal

    We have been working hard to help students participate in the wide array of activities South offers. Out of the eight high schools in our district, South has the highest overall activities participation rate! 

     

    Students who are involved in extracurricular activities are more likely to succeed in the classroom. Our Athletic and Fine Art Programs have a proven history of success they continually build on. Along with our additional clubs and organizations, students have many different avenues to build camaraderie and strong friendships with their peers. By participating in activities, students will learn dedication, hard work, responsibility, and leadership. These traits will help our students prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.
