Nashua High School South is a public high school located in Nashua, New Hampshire. The school's current location was erected in 1975 with its first class graduating in June, 1976, and remodeled in between 2002 and 2004 when the city's high schools split into two locations and establishments, Nashua High School North and Nashua High School South. Generally, students living south of the Nashua River attend "South", as it is commonly referred to. The school's mascot is the Purple Panther.

[edit] History

Nashua High School (as the south campus was referred to prior to the split in 2004) has been located at three different locations throughout the city, originally at a location at Spring Street, followed by the building that is now Elm Street Middle School, before finally coming to the current location on Riverside Drive.

Prior to the 2002/2003 school year, the Nashua school district followed a less standard placement system, which had the high school comprised of grades 10 (sophomore) through 12 (senior), with grade 9 (freshman) being bunched in with the city's three junior high schools (now following the middle school system/curriculum).

During the 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 school years, juniors and seniors attended classes at the newly constructed Nashua High School North campus, while sophmores attended school at the South location while it was being renovated. Until the 2004/2005 school year, freshmen still attended class at their respective junior high schools, but received credit and report cards from Nashua High.

[edit] Alumni

As of the start of the 2004/2005 school year, anyone who graduated from the school when it was simply known as Nashua High School is considered an alumnus of Nashua High School South (including those who attended classes at the North campus until 2004).

Perhaps the most recognizable graduate of Nashua High School is Paul Michael Levesque, better known as professional wrestler Triple H.
