South Haven High School -- get ready to get cozy, festive, and warm!
NOTE TO SPORTS PARENTS: An increasing number of local districts are now requiring masks of spectators and coaches as we move into the winter season. For example, Lakeshore, St. Joseph & Kalamazoo Public Schools will require masks if you travel to an away event next week. South Haven Athletics recommends you plan on bringing a mask to all away events, and asks that you comply with whatever local rules are in place. Thank you!!
Please note that the Van Buren Tech Center will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, November 23, 2021 due to low attendance numbers and staff shortages.
Questions can be directed to the high school office.
