Staff

By motivating students to reach their full potential and addressing individual student needs, the qualified staff at South Division successfully prepares students for a college education and/or a career following graduation. Educators teach students to value diversity and to respect the unique perspectives of their peers. Learning academies result in smaller class sizes, where students are given individual attention and experience hands-on, interactive learning activities.

Our teachers are certified with appropriate teaching experience to manage classrooms, lead learning and inspire students to perform.
