Soundside High School

Cane families, Please plan to join us on Tuesday, March 10th in the SHS Gymnasium for a parent and student registration meeting. You will have the opportunity to meet the administration team, learn about the courses we will be offering in Year 1, and hear from our Athletic Director. 😊 Our football and volleyball coach (since they've been hired thus far) will also be present! (Prior to this parent meeting, we will have met during the school day with WBMS, NHS, & GBHS students who are zoned for SHS. This parent meeting will reiterate what was shared with the students at those meetings.) We promise we won’t keep you too long; this is simply an opportunity for you to step on campus (pardon our construction), get to know the administration, and learn about some of the things to expect at SHS! 🌀 After the parent meeting, if you have follow-up questions about the registration process, you may email our Asst. Principal Mrs. Rankin at rankink@santarosa.k12.fl.us. If you can’t make it to the parent meeting, please make note that your child’s Registration Card must be completed and turned into the Guidance Department at their current school before they leave for Spring Break. Please Note: If your child is not zoned for SHS but you intend to fill out the School Choice paperwork in April to seek approval for your child to attend SHS, you are certainly welcome to attend this meeting as well! We can collect a Registration Card from you, but please know we cannot process it until your School Choice paperwork has been processed and confirmed you’ve been approved. If you have questions about the School Choice process, more information will be coming out next month from the district office; school choice paperwork for high schools goes through the Director of High School’s Office. We can't wait to see our gym filled with amazing families!!! 😀 Let’s Go Canes!

Thank you to our school district's Purchasing Department for all their hard work behind the scenes! Extra special shout out to Sonia Perkins for helping us recently with all the things! We appreciate you! 😀

Happy New Year! 🎆Can you believe it is 2026? This is OUR YEAR!! We will officially open the doors of Soundside High School this year in August 2026. We absolutely cannot wait to build a community of collaboration, learning, and Hurricane pride at SHS! Wishing you all a Happy New Year! 🎉

Happy Holidays from Soundside High School! ❄️We can't wait to have our hallways and campus full of students this time next year! Wishing you all a wonderful safe and relaxing holiday break from Soundside High School! #Hurricanes

🏫Soundside High School Update - 11/19/25 🏫 We have received many questions about the future of Soundside High School. In an effort to provide accurate and clear information, here is an update regarding grade level and zoning decisions for Soundside High School. During the December 11, 2025 school board meeting, there will be a review of several zoning options for Soundside High School. These will be drafts only. No final decision will be made during that meeting. After the options are advertised for at least 30 days, the Board will plan to vote on one proposed school zone and finalize grade level assignments during the January 15, 2026 board meeting. The District will share more specific information with the impacted schools, any students who may be re-zoned, programming options, and other frequently asked questions regarding athletics, curriculum, school choice, and more on the website and social media. We look forward to the future in SRCDS!
