Schools of Success

Schools of Success South Side

 

At Fort Wayne Community Schools, we are committed to transforming education to ensure students are ready for life after graduation, whether they enroll in higher education, enlist in the military or enter the workforce as an employee or entrepreneur. Through our Schools of Success powered by 3DE, South Side students will have experiences connecting their core academic studies with real world relevancy. When students enter South Side High School as a freshman they will be sorted into houses which will act as their support system throughout their freshman year as they start learning about the career paths available to them at South Side, Amp Lab and the FWCS Career Academy.
