South High School, formerly Springfield High School, is a building that housed a public high school in Springfield, Ohio. It was one of two high schools in the Springfield City Schools district, the other school being North High School. Thanks to a large state grant, local donations, and the School District's investment, in 2015 it reopened as the Springfield Center of Innovation: The Dome. It is still owned and operated by the Springfield City School District (SCSD). SCSD operates the CareerConnectED Center and John Legend Theater within the building, and leases space in the Dome to the Global Impact STEM Academy and to Clark State Community College.

Dayton Ohio architect Albert Pretzinger's design of the school was modeled after the Library of Congress. When it school was built around 1911, it was the sole high school in Springfield. North High School was built in the 1960s due to the rising population of the city, and the old high school was renamed South.

The mascot was the Wildcat. The school colors were Gold and Navy Blue.

North and South High School merged into Springfield High School in 2008. The two schools moved into a new building behind the old North High School. The North High School building was demolished that year, while the South High School building currently stands housing a youmedia center for grades 9-12 after school and Global Impact STEM Academy.
