South Tahoe High School (STHS) is a public secondary school in South Lake Tahoe, California that is part of the Lake Tahoe Unified School District. The school mascot is the Viking, and the school's colors are blue and gold.

South Tahoe High School has an average attendance of 1,300 students and features an open-air campus. In 2004, the school underwent a massive renovation which featured the installation of heated sidewalks and a renovation of the offices. Recently, South Tahoe High School was honored as a "top 1000" secondary school in the United States by Newsweek Magazine. [ [http://www.tahoedailytribune.com/article/20050511/News/105110023&SearchID=73208237025554 Newsweek puts STHS in exceptional academic company] ] [ [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7723397/site/newsweek/page/10/ The Complete List of the 1,000 Top U.S. Schools] ] In June 2007, the school had to be surrounded by firefighters to avoid being burned down in the devastating Angora fire. The famous class of 2005 unleashed the greatest senior prank of the schools history, when over 200 seniors took license plates off of cars and threw it in a pile.

Athletics

South Tahoe's athletic teams compete in Nevada for proximity. The Vikings compete in the Sierra League of the Northern Nevada 4A Region which is the large school level.
