Park Hill South High School is one of two high schools in the accredited with distinction Park Hill School District. It was opened in 1998 to supplement the growing enrollment in the district, as the original high school - Park Hill High School - could no longer handle the entire population of high school students.
[edit] Mission Statement
Park Hill South High School will provide students the opportunity to reach their highest level of personal and intellectual stature by creating a learning environment that empowers students to become productive and responsible citizens in a diverse, changing society.
[edit] History
Park Hill South High School opened its doors in 1998 after splitting the district in half, leaving behind Park Hill High School. Its first year, no seniors were enrolled because the entire class of 1999 was allowed to remain at Park Hill and graduate together. Because of this, the athletic teams competed at a lower division (due to less enrollment) in their first two years, which led to early athletic successes.
[edit] Programs and Information
Park Hill South actively participates in the A+ program, which provides scholarships to dedicated students to many of Missouri's 2 and 4 year colleges and universities. The girls track team won the Missouri State Title in 2002, and other sports such as soccer, swimming, tennis and cross country have dominated their conferences and have made strong showings in State Playoffs.
