Harlingen High School South

Powered by HCISD AI

I'm Giselle Garza, and

we're here at Harlington

South. I'm Wilder Wilson.

I can't do that.

And this is Champions

Check In. Come on

in. We're here to

give you a tour

of Harlington South. But

first things first. We

want to show our

field house. Let's get

out of here. Now

that we're here in

the field house, this

is our weight room

where champions are made.

We are here, home

of the state champion

powerlifting team. And this

is where our football

team gets their reps

in. So does softball,

baseball, and all the

sports here at Harlington

South. Here at Harlingen

south, academics is obviously

super important to us.

But here in the

athletic department, things

like the know for

your All Faith motto

is a huge motto

we live by, not

just as athletes, but

as students, too. The

Monte Bordeaux Atlas Ball

got a pat it

before the games for

good luck. You know,

just little things that

we do here that

really make us better

athletes. And a step

above. Now that we're

done here, we have

a special treat waiting

for y'. All. Let's

go. Chop it up.

What's up, Mr. Pena?

How's it going? I'm

pretty good. How are

you? Good. What can

you tell us about

culinary students? Learn how

to properly season meats

and products and do

knife work as well.

So not only that,

but we also help

out with our staff

luncheons and other events

throughout different clubs as

well. These are our

two main hallways where

most of our classes

branch off into. We

also have our parades

here. And some of

my favorite classes are

actually down this hallway.

So this is the

500 hallway. This is

where we have a

lot of our veterinary

classes and some of

our science classes. Here

at south, we also

offer dual classes and

AP classes for any

class that has a

core subject. Right now,

I'm taking AP Statistics

and AP Macro. And

it really gives me

the opportunity to save

money in college and

help me better prepare

for my future. So

even though our campus

may seem small, we

do have an upstairs,

and it really contributes

a lot to our

academics. Yeah, we got

tons of English classes

and law classes upstairs.

So let's go check

it out. This is

our law class. It's

taught by Mr. Robert

Reyes. I've never been

a part of the

class, but I have

been a part of

a few mock trials,

and it seems really

solid. I kind of

wish I took it.

I took law class

and sorry for cutting

you off, but I

took law class, and

it was actually really

fun. I was the

judge, and went to

the child and there's

like different classes

There's Court Systems Law

1 Law 2 and

they all help you

get certified to become

a level two security

guard and it really

does help prepare you

for college and future.

We've talked a lot

about our electives classes

but we haven't really

touched on any of

our actual core classes.

This year is Mr.

Voss's class he teaches

English for apartment and

I believe dual and

regular. Everything that we

do in here is

going to be more

challenging, more rigorous.

Holding you to that

step above and covering

what Dr. Reyes calls

our first class of

education I hold you

to an even higher

standard on that than

what the AP does

and that's to ensure

that you're actually ready

for the challenges that

are coming in college

for you and this

is just a sneak

peek of Highland and

South if you're interested

you can learn more@hcic.org

or enroll here now.

Course no fear of

faith Hawks up.

Campus History

Harlingen High School South embodies 'Hawk Pride' as the second comprehensive high school in Harlingen CISD. The campus roots trace back to 1986 when it opened as Alamo Junior High School. In 1993, the facility was transformed into a four-year high school named Harlingen South to meet the city's growing needs. The school name, mascot, colors, and Alma Mater were selected by special committees, and by 2002, it had grown to become the largest 4A high school in Texas. In 2013, the campus transitioned to serving grades 10-12 following the opening of Dr. Cano Freshman Academy.
