Southern Guilford High School was founded in 1970 in the Sumner area of Guilford County, North Carolina. It operates on a block, college-styled schedule (4 classes each semester) as opposed to the traditional bell schedule that has 6 periods year long. Southern has an enrollment of around 1021, grades 9-12. In 2007 it was rated as one of the top public high schools in the nation by Newsweek. Its current principal is Jim Gibson.
Colors and Mascot
Originally, the mascot for Southern was the Indian, but due to a need for political correctness, Guilford County Board of Education voted to retire the mascot and was changed to the Storm in 2004. Even after the drastic change in mascot, Southern Guilford's colors remain maroon and gold.
Southern Academy
In 2005 Southern Guilford was turned into a magnet school for the study of agriscience, education, and medicine. Students are able to explore the fields of pre-medicine, sports medicine, nursing, biotechnology, and agriscience research, botany and horticulture science, veterinary technology and elementary-, middle-, and upper-grades education. Preset course schedules not only reflect NC graduation standards, but also incorporate Honors and AP courses in the student-selected specialized area of the Advanced Sciences or Education strand. Fifteen credits of the total coursework are academy-designated classes required to graduate Southern Guilford’s Academy.
Currently, the academy is one of the biggest in the county and has students enrolled from high schools all over the county. Most students come from nearby high schools Ben L. Smith High School, Dudley High School, High Point Central High School and Southeast Guildford High School.
Agriscience strand
The Agriscience program consists of studies in botany, horticulture, biotechnology and animal science. Academy courses include agriscience applications, animal science I,II, horticulture I,II, agriscience advanced studies and horticulture landscape construction.
Education strand
It has the smallest number of students out of the three strands. Academy courses include teacher cadet I,II and advanced placement psychology.
Medicine strand

In 2007, a 16-year-old high school student (Windy Hager) attending South Brunswick High School, married her 40-year-old teacher (Brenton Wuchae), a former teacher at Southern Guilford.
