SOUTHSIDE SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL MATT MCCORMICK
Welcome to Southside Elementary School. My name is Matt McCormick and I will be the new principal at Southside this school year. One of my goals is to show what the students and staff are doing to create a positive learning environment here at Southside. I am really looking forward to working with students and families throughout this school year.
Southside is home to over 215 students ranging from third to fifth grade. We have a dedicated school community that is working diligently to provide a quality educational experience to each and every one of our students. We want to provide many opportunities for our students to develop leadership skills and become the best students and citizens they can be.
