SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS TOP IN CLASS "We had no knowledge of what was to come in just a few short months when our school year started in August, but we made each day count regardless. In doing so, we made our senior year something we would always hold close. Setting the bar each and every day makes memories in the process."

"It’s been a great high school journey at Southside. I made new friends and got to see my teachers and did great at my school. But now, it’s time to show the world what God has for me to do in the future."

"While we have already set a high bar here at Southside, I challenge myself and every member of this class to go out into the world and show the strength, ambition, and determination of a Maverick. Fight for what you believe, stay true to yourself, strive for excellence, and remember where you came from."
~ MILES EPPERSON
"If I were asked to describe my class in one word, 'resilient' immediately comes to mind. Through every challenge we’ve faced this year, we have bounced back. We are still here. We have not just set the bar, Class of 2020, but we have raised it."
