Where Eagles Compete, Create & Belong
Two stages, one school. On the court, our student-athletes chase CIF titles and college recruiting. In the studio and on the stage, our artists, musicians, and club leaders find their voice. Every Eagle finds a place to shine.
Jump to what you came for — both live under one roof.
Feel the Eagle Spirit
Game days at South Hills feel like family reunions — students, teachers, and parents filling the stands, pep rallies that shake the gym, and teams that play for something bigger than a scoreboard.
From the first serve to the final whistle, Eagle spirit is what visitors notice first. Come feel it in person.

School Spirit🔊 Tap for soundFind Your Game
South Hills competes in the CIF Southern Section across the middle and high school years. Rosters shift by season — ask the athletics office for this year's full lineup.
Basketball
Dribble, shoot, and score — the adrenaline and strategy of the court.
Flag Football
Teamwork, strategy, and agility in one of campus's most exciting games.
Soccer
The world's most beloved sport — tactics, fitness, and team dynamics.
Volleyball
Quick reflexes, powerful plays, and the trust of a great team.
Sports That Lift Grades, Not Lower Them
To compete in CIF, a student must keep at least a 2.0 GPA every grading period. At a school our size, no athlete slips through the cracks — coaches and teachers keep every player on track.
2.0 GPA, Every Term
We track each athlete's grades in real time and step in early — long before eligibility is ever at risk.
After-School Tutoring
Teacher-led help from 3:30–5:30 keeps practice and homework in balance.
Small Classes
Teachers who know every student personally — and talk to the coaches.
Character First
Sportsmanship, discipline, and faith come before any scoreboard.
From Our Court to College Athletics
Want to play in college? The path runs through the NCAA Eligibility Center, and it starts freshman year. Our college counselors build it into your child's plan from day one.
NCAA Core Courses
We map a four-year schedule from NCAA-approved core courses — and complete 10 (7 in English, math & science) before senior year.
Core-Course GPA
Division I needs a 2.3 core GPA (D-II: 2.2). We track it from freshman year, not senior panic.
Eligibility Center
Counselors guide your family through NCAA registration and amateurism certification — step by step.
Get Seen
Help with highlight reels, transcripts, and reaching out to college coaches at the right time.
Standardized tests are now optional for NCAA eligibility. We prepare the path — we don't promise a scholarship.
Yes — F-1 Students Can Compete
International students on an F-1 visa are welcome on our teams. CIF has specific eligibility and transfer rules for new and international students, and our athletics and admissions offices know them well — we'll walk your family through what applies, so your child can get on the field.

Where Every Eagle Finds a Stage
Not every student's stage is a scoreboard. In the studio, on the stage, and behind the yearbook camera, our students create, perform, and lead.
Visual Arts
Painting, graphic design, media, photography, art history, and 3-D design — students build a real creative portfolio.
Music & Orchestra
Master brass, woodwinds, or percussion across genres — then take the stage in symphony orchestra performances.
Student-Made Yearbook
Every year, students produce the school yearbook themselves — from photography to layout and design.
Lead, Join, Belong
Beyond the classroom, students step up — starting clubs, organizing events, and leading their peers. Clubs shift year to year with student interest; ask the office for this year's full lineup.
Student Leadership
Student council and class leaders plan events, represent their peers, and build real-world responsibility.
Academic & Competition Clubs
Math, science, and academic teams take Eagles to regional and national competitions.
