Fort Zumwalt South High School (FZS) is in the Fort Zumwalt School District in Saint Peters, Missouri, United States.
In 1987, FZS was the second high school to be founded in the Fort Zumwalt District (after Fort Zumwalt North). Its students are mostly white middle class, although the small minority population in the area is growing. There are many extracurricular activities offered, including basketball, soccer, swimming, volleyball, football, marching band, choir, National Honors Society, and other sport, academic, and arts activities. FZS participates in the A+ program.
The school started out in 1987 with a little over 400 students and dramatically increased to over 2,600 by 1998 making it one of the largest schools in the state. When West High was completed, the student population went down to around 2,100. Enrollment increased to 2,300 students before subsiding to around 1,400 with completion of East High.
Fort Zumwalt South's Winter Guard placed 1st in their division in 2011 and again in 2013. The Fort Zumwalt South Bulldogs won the Missouri State Championship in Cross Country in 2005 and 2006. They also, in 2009, won the Missouri State Championship in Baseball.
In February 2013 and February 2014, South High's science bowl team won the regional competition allowing them to represent Missouri at nationals in Washington D.C.
