South High School is a public high school located on the south side of Columbus, Ohio. It was opened in 1900 as the fourth Columbus City Schools high school at 345 Deshler Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. The current building was opened March 31, 1924. The Charles S. Barrett Building 345 E. Deshler Ave (named for that building's first Principal in 1924 when it was reuitlized as a junior high school) opened September 1900. Prior to that in 1895-1897 South High School utilized part of the Ohio Avenue Elementary School. In 1897 it was decided that the building was too far east for its name; the south side students were returned to the Columbus High School building at 6th & Broad Streets (which later became the 1st Central High School), and the building process began on the Deshler Street Building. It was known as South Urban Academy for a short time. The school is located at 1160 Ann Street.
The mascot for South High School is the Bulldog.
The school was remodeled in 2009 and classes were being held in the former Barrett Middle School at 345 East Deshler Avenue. Oddly enough, it was the original South High School. The remodel was complete and classes resumed at the current Ann Street building in the summer of 2010.
