Life at South Dearborn High School
Engaging. Hands On. Relevant. Just a few ways we'd describe a typical day at South Dearborn High School. Students thrive in our small town, community-based culture located within a safe, secure and beautiful campus. We offer state-of-the-art technology within our modern facilities including computer labs, Internet access & 1:1 Devices in our English Classrooms.
How We Operate
Our school operates on a Trimester Schedule, which includes three 12-week semesters, with five 70-minute class periods per day. We also offer a Balanced Calendar School Year, which increases Continuity of Instruction while reducing summer learning loss.
From an academic perspective, our school corporation recently had the highest ISTEP score increase compared to other area schools. This is just one indication of the commitment to academic achievement that you'll find at South Dearborn High School and throughout the entire South Dearborn Community School Corporation.

In addition to pure academic instruction, our students also participate in character education and our Bully Prevention Program & Drug Awareness Program to proactively address these real world concerns.
Meeting Every Child's Needs
We believe that our parents and students deserve access to resources that will help them get the most of our their school experience. With that in mind, South Dearborn schools offer:
- Pathways to Success for College and Career Development
- High Ability Program & Enrichment Classes
- Special Education Services
- Speech & Language Services
- After School Tutoring Programs
- STARS Peer Mentoring Program for Freshmen
- Payment for a portion of every student's textbook fees
Students grow socially as they have opportunities to become involved at every turn - from athletic teams to clubs and music programs. We hope you'll consider joining us.
