Southern Boone High School celebrates our assistant principal, Ana Brooks, for National Assistant Principals Week! This is Mrs. Brooks's first year on the job, but as a long-time teacher in the building, her transition has been flawless! She makes every day balanced, brighter, and more productive! Thank you, Ana, for all you do for Southern Boone!

🚨PARKING ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
In preparation for the second annual Crystal Branch Invitational, we are asking for students and staff to modify their parking this Friday, April 3rd. Students should limit their parking to the high school Commons lot or the high school Ag lot first and the SE lot by the city park last. We are asking no students or staff to park between the high school building and the athletic complex; this will provide parking availability for volunteers and officials. Thank you so much for helping us make this such an amazingly successful event! 🖤❤️🦅❤️🖤
📅 Change to Last Day of School for 2025–2026 School Year
Due to unused snow days and upcoming summer construction projects, the district is planning to move the last day of school from Friday, May 22nd, 2026, to Wednesday, May 20th, 2026 (early dismissal at 2 p.m.).
We hope this advance notice gives your family time to make any necessary arrangements.
