South Windsor High School is located in South Windsor, Connecticut. It currently serves grades 9-12 with approximately 1,458 students.

The school offers a variety of courses spanning departments such as mathematics, science, social studies, language arts, foreign languages, music, art, and technology.
2002: South Windsor high School was the state's first municipal facility to be powered and heated by a fuel cell, made possible by a funding program through the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund. The PureCell 200 kW fuel cell was manufactured and installed by South Windsor-based UTC Power, a division of United Technologies Corporation.
Spring 2004: Students Mark Schneider and Jeffrey Schneider won the Siemens Westinghouse Competition with their research project, “Simulation of the West Nile Virus using STELLA 7.02.” The competition features a $100,000 top prize, and the brothers were interviewed by several media outlets, including CNN's Paula Zahn.
March 2005: William Haun, a South Windsor High School senior, represented Connecticut as a recipient of the 2005 William Randolph Hearst Foundation United States Senate Youth Scholarship. The foundation awards a $5,000 scholarship to two recipients from all fifty states and U.S. territories, in addition to a week in Washington, D.C. where winners meet U.S. Senators, cabinet officials, a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and the President of the United States. Mr. Haun received a proclamation from the town of South Windsor honoring the achievement.
April 2005: Four students at South Windsor High School wore T-shirts bearing anti-gay marriage slogans. At the time, the Connecticut General Assembly voted to legalize civil unions in the state. School administrators asked the students to remove the shirts, but they refused and were asked to leave school grounds. The content of the shirts and the actions of school administrators raised issues of free speech within a school environment. The ACLU, among other groups, criticized the school's actions.
