Shawnee Mission South High School
Shawnee Mission South's school colors are green and gold and its mascot is Rocky the Raider. The school's mascot was chosen by the first graduating class of 1967. The Raider was chosen as a mascot because of the popular band Paul Revere and the Raiders. Most of the students from South come from the middle school Indian Woods (which was then two separate Junior High Schools - Nallwood and Indian Creek). The school's population in 2006 was 1,805 students, down from a peak around 2,400 in 1975. South has a newspaper called "The Patriot" and a yearbook called "Heritage."
