South has offerings in general education, special education, athletics, and world languages (French, Spanish, Arabic, German, Latin, Chinese, Ojibwe, and for many years Russian). In 2012, Somali was added as a language class. The school is known for cultural diversity, with students from White, African-American, Asian (particularly Hmong), Horn African (particularly Somali and Oromo), American Indian, and Hispanic communities. There is an increasing number of Eastern European students.
