Gibson Southern High School is a public high school located near Fort Branch in Gibson County in the U.S. state of Indiana.
Completed in 1974, Gibson Southern was created as a consolidation of Fort Branch Community School, Haubstadt Johnson, and Owensville Montgomery High Schools. Gibson Southern High School graduated its first class of Seniors in the Spring of 1975.
Three junior high schools feed into Gibson Southern to form its student body: Fort Branch Community School, Haubstadt Community School and Owensville Community School. Gibson Southern and these three community schools are the schools which compromise the South Gibson School Corporation.
In February 2008, Gibson Southern High School began a multimillion-dollar renovation project. This overhaul was expected to be completed by August 2010, but was not finished until March, 2011.
Gibson Southern High School has received the Indiana Four Star School Award twelve of fourteen years, from 1994 through 2008.
In 1974, Gibson Southern was originally a member of the Pocket Athletic Conference (PAC). In 1980, the school left the PAC to form the Big 8 Conference with 7 former Southern Indiana Athletic Conference schools, some of which were also once members of the PAC. In 1994, Gibson Southern left the Big 8 to rejoin the PAC.
The school won state championships in softball in 2003, 2005, 2015 and State Runner-Ups in 2001 and 2014. Because of making consecutive appearances at the State Finals, Gibson Southern's softball team will compete in Class 4A until the 2017 season. The softball team has followed up these successes with new achievements in the 2016 season, becoming the only public school known to have won sectionals and regionals in 3 separate classes; AA, AAA, and now, AAAA, winning against schools at least twice their size.
