In 1897 it was decided that building was too far east to be a south High School the southside students were returned to the Columbus High School building @ 6th & Broad Streets (which later became the 1st Central High School), and the building process began on the Deshler Street Building. It was known as South Urban Academy for a short time (). The school is located at 1160 Ann Street

The mascot for South High School is the Bulldog.

As of 2009, the school is being remodeled, and school is being held in the former Barrett Middle School at 345 East Deshler Avenue, which oddly enough, was the original South High School before a newer South High School was built at 1160 Ann Street.
