The school currently has a student enrollment of about 700. The mascot of the school is the "Suns" with red, gold, and orange (although red, black, and white are most commonly used currently) as the school colors. The mission is "to educate and prepare our students to successfully function in a complex and changing word."

[edit] Sports
The South Suns have been working hard to build on the short 17-year tradition of the school. The Lady Suns Cross Country team won the 2006 Class 2A State Championship in Kentucky, with senior Suzanne Holt winning the individual state title.[1] This was Muhlenberg County's first state championship in a KHSAA-sanctioned sport. The girls were runners-up in the 2007 state competition, with the boys team finishing fourth in the state.
The Lady Suns Soccer team was the 2006 and 2007 District Champions, going 12-1-1 in the 2007 regular season.
The 2006 South Suns basketball team had the most wins since the 1996-1997 season, with a record of 16-13. That includes an 11 game winning streak, the longest in South's history.
The South Suns Football team competes with the school's main rival, the Muhlenberg North Stars. The two teams compete for a trophy called the "Solar Bowl" championship, which South has won for five straight years. The football team has also produced 2 individual state championship weightlifters; Byron Masden 2001 Heavyweight Division, Myron Bard 1994 185 Division, & 1994 2A Team State Champions.
In 2007, Muhlenberg South Graduate Chad Clemons signed in professional baseball with the Southern Illinois Miners
