The first SSHS Community Outreach Halloween celebration at South Side was a huge success. The school hosted over 2000 future students and their families, and after running out of 800 lbs of candy in the first hour, Mr. Mable had to make an emergency run to CVS and Walmart to restock the various stations. The festivities were the result of the hard work of students and staff who volunteered their time to decorate the school, staff the various activities, and help everyone enjoy a fun filled, SAFE evening of Trick and Treating.. Thanks South Side, you make us proud.

On Saturday, December 9, 2017, the 1993 South Side boys’ basketball team celebrated their 25th reunion. The team had a record of 25 wins and 2 losses (23 in a row) and won the SAC regular season, SAC tournament, section, regional and got beat in the semi-state by South Bend St. Joseph. The evening began with “meet and greet” in the Hall of Fame Room followed by a program in the Media Center with remarks from Coach Flynn about the season as well as an introduction of the nine players and their family members. Several of the guys came from out of town: Josh Feay drove 11 hours from Fairfield, Connecticut; Tyron Walker drove from Indianapolis; and Joe Miller from Holly, Michigan. The players were also presented a wooden plaque beautifully engraved with their accomplishments. The evening culminated with Coach Flynn introducing the team just before the Archer’s home game against Zionsville. On behalf of the ’93 South Side Archers basketball team and coaches, we would like to thank Carlton Mable, Principal; Steve Jones, Athletic Director; the reunion committee of Terry Flynn, Tiffany O’Shaughnessey, Blair Phillips, Gregg Taylor, and a special “Thank You” to the South Side High School Alumni Association… Read More
