Message from our Principal PTSA Open House Message from our President Student News Texas PTSA Parent Volunteers
Hello and welcome to a brand new school year. I am honored to return to Harlingen High School South and assist in raising standards for our students. Continuing the tradition of South excellence both in and out of the classroom will be the standard we expect to uphold and improve on this year. Based on many discussions and observations, I know that everyone at South is committed to providing a world class education and a safe learning environment for our students. Last year we met some important goals. I want to applaud our hard working students, excellent teaching and support staff, and of course our parents for results. The foundation that was created is a true testament to the focus everyone has for making our students competitors in todays world. As with all school years, this year we have some challenges to undertake. First and foremost, the focus will be on achieving high standards of success in academics and extracurricular activities, while understanding that we also have a responsibility to ensure our students are taught the life skills needed to function in an ever-changing society. I believe that every South community member will do all that is required to make sure students are our first priority and that every decision focuses on high levels of achievement. I want to invite anyone and everyone to stop by to discuss any concerns that they feel need to be addressed. I believe that, by working as a team and addressing the issues, we can not only be a step above, but we can move a step beyond.
