Our Freshman Academy guarantees that our ninth grade students get off to great start in their high school career. We created the Freshman Academy in order to help students make a more positive transition from middle school to high school. At South View High School, we take pride in the family atmosphere we have created.

We are proud to offer the only Jostens Renaissance Initiative in our region.
