Southside WELDING

by

November 13th, Diego Muniz and Maximus Polendo, both sophomore Welding 1 students, attended the Texas High School Welding Series welding competition that was held on the Texas State campus.  They took advantage of the opportunity to compete for scholarships and prizes.  This is the first welding competition Southside High School welding has attended within the past three years.  Diego and Max practiced for the competition one week prior to learn a few welding positions they had not yet learned.  Diego and Maximus competed in different skills challenges such as part of a virtual reality welding competition; a tool identification quiz, and underwater welding contest.  Both Diego and Max represented Southside High School with honor and pride.  Not only did they have a great time competing, they also learned the true meaning behind these contests, which is teamwork and camaraderie between the different schools and competitors. Out of the 171 students that competed, Maximus Polendo won a new pair of work boots through the “Boot’em Up” program.

We are proud of these two welding 1 students for their desire to step outside their comfort zones into competition as they continue to grow their welding skills.

New Southside Tradition: Lighting of the S Unites the Cardinal Community

by

The Southside ISD’s first Lighting of the S celebration turned into a large-scale and successful community event. Student groups from every campus marched in a parade that wound its way into Southside Stadium. Family and friends filled the home-side and cheered on the students. For their part, students waved to the cheering crowd and soaked up the excitement. The entire purpose of the Lighting of the S and parade was to showcase our students, highlight their accolades, and bring in the community. “Everyone from students, staff, and the community thoroughly enjoyed this event,” said Superintendent Mr. Rolando Ramirez. The night ended when the Southside High School Senior Class of 2022 took to the field and watched the S light up while the Mighty Cardinal Band played the Alma Mater. “One faculty member told me this should have happened years ago,” said Mr. Ramirez. The Lighting of the S is on the books to become an annual tradition at Southside ISD.  Click here to see pictures.
