Sheboygan South High School is a public coeducational high school serving grades 9-12. It is located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in the city's south side, and is part of the Sheboygan Area School District, serving approximately 1,600 students. The school has a fierce rivalry with the cross-town Sheboygan North High School, located almost four miles straight north.
The school opened in 1960 in the midst of the population shift towards the south side of Sheboygan and the Town of Wilson as a replacement for the former Sheboygan Central High School, located in the city's downtown (Central's building is still in use for district administration offices, the Community Recreation Department, and several non-mainstream school programs). The school has undergone two expansions in the last few years. In 1998, a new library and classrooms were built in several areas of the building, while a more significant expansion occurred in 2005-2006, adding more new classrooms, a new indoor athletic complex, and new tennis courts. Naming rights for the school's new gymnasium were acquired by Acuity Insurance, with the weight room being sponsored by Aurora Health Care.
The school's athletic teams are nicknamed the Redwings, with the school colors being red, white and black. Until 1994 the nickname was the Redmen, until concerns over the racial implications of the Native American name were broached, and a long debate between students, faculty, alumni and the community at large resulted in a change. One remnant of the former Redmen name still exists in a mosaic profile of an Indian chief on the front facade of the school's auditorium.
The school's newspaper and yearbook goes by the name of "Lake Breeze", which was another carryover from Central High School.
