Celebrating 70 years of history!
2026 is a milestone year for South Hagerstown High School! Thursday, September 10, 2026, will officially mark 70 years since the first day students occupied the building. Over seven decades, South High has proudly graduated thousands of students and created a lasting impact on the South End community.
Throughout 2026, the staff and students at South High will partner with the South Hagerstown High Anniversary Association, a nonprofit organization formed by alumni, to celebrate the school's rich history!
