Salina South High School was established in 1971 due to overcrowding at Salina Central High School.[ citation needed ] The school was selected as a Blue Ribbon School in 1984.[ citation needed ] The Blue Ribbon Award recognizes public and private schools which perform at high levels or have made significant academic improvements. The school has additionally been through multiple renovations with the most recent being in 2016–18.
Salina South was formerly a brown building distinctly recognized by its three "pods" (circular hallways named the 200, 300, and 400 Pods). The "pod" design featured doorless classrooms with faux walls and very few windows. In April 2014, a $110 million bond was approved which would fund a whole new school, due to the "pods" being in poor condition. [9] The new building was built in 3 phases from 2016 to 2018 as part of a district wide remodeling of schools. The new building contains many windows, increased security, larger classrooms, a school store, a coffee bar, and a more modern design from the old "pod" design.
In 2000, the football team won the 5A state championship with a victory over Pittsburg High School. The football team repeated as state champions in 2004 with a victory over Olathe North High School.
