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.
History
Park Hill South High School opened its doors in 1998 after splitting the district in half with 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.
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. Park Hill South has also recently started a Schools for Schools club, a US-wide club from Invisible Children Inc. They will be raising money to build schools for the children of Northern Uganda. [1]
