Parents were given a glimpse of their child’s future educational playground during South’s Open House on Sunday, November 6th. Parents and students both had the chance to take guided tours, explore South’s course load and meet our principal.
South’s Link Crew directed parents and their children on an adventure through South, with visits to the weight room, pool and the currently under construction art rooms.
It was treats galore as parents made their way into Cleminson Hall, where teachers set up exhibits showing off their classes. Parents can ask the teachers any and all questions they have about the school, classes or South in general.
The sound of peaceful Harp music could be heard flowing through the halls. Mikinzi Allen ’24, South’s own talented Harpist, played her instrument, setting the ambiance as parents got a glimpse at what it looks like for a student to excel within their chosen instrument.
Student choir performers sang “Let it Snow” to awaiting guests, showing off South’s amazing Music Department.“Let it Snow” will be performed during Choir’s ‘Sounds of the Season” show on December 1st and 2nd. They captivated parents in the halls, creating big clumps of immovable bodies while drumming up excitement for their show.
Kathleen Wolney, a Michigan native, is considering enrolling her son, Luke Wolney, to South for his upcoming freshman year. Luke Wolney currently goes to Grosse Pointe Academy.
“(South has a) strong art program, it’s close to home and a larger student body,” Kathleen Wolney said.
The Wolney family is also considering South due to our esteemed Special Education Department.
”We plan to find out what services for students here are at South since Luke is dyslexic,” Wolney said
Wolney is a former Blue Devil, graduating in the class of 1997.
“It’s been really cool to see (South’s) improvements and the changes,”Wolney said.
She wants to continue her legacy of Blue Devils with her son, Luke, who hopefully will get to experience all of South’s improvements since his mom attended.
“the school pride that comes along with it,” Wolney said. “Everybody that goes here is super excited to be a Blue Devil.”
