Southside Class of 1956


Southside alumni directory project under way

The Elmira City School District is collaborating with Harris Direct on a directory of Southside High School alumni.

Harris has begun mailing letters to alumni asking for updated personal information. These letters have an Elmira school district address in Virginia.

If you are a graduate of Southside and did not receive a letter, you may call the company at (800) 827-9049 to be included in the directory.
