Home of the REBELS!
As a proud Rebel and Principal of William A. Shine - Great Neck South High School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. Whether you are a parent/guardian, a student, or a community member, we are thrilled to have you as part of our extended family. Our website is a dynamic and essential portal, designed to provide you with everything you need to navigate the school year with ease and confidence.

Please feel free to reach out to our Main Office staff at 516.441.4800, or you can contact any staff member via email using the format: tdepaola@greatneck.k12.ny.us.
I want to take this moment to stress how truly proud we are of our school's academic excellence. Our students are consistently recognized for their achievements, including recent National Merit Scholarships and top awards at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. Our reputation for academic rigor is reflected in our high rankings, including being named a top public high school by national ranking groups. Our academic culture, as highlighted by our own students in The Southerner newspaper, is one of "academic zeal" where our Rebels are motivated to be the best versions of themselves. In the world of music, art, theater, athletics, humanitarian causes, South High stands out.
I am committed to helping every student at South High succeed. We believe in providing a comprehensive and supportive environment where our Rebels can thrive academically, artistically, and athletically. This website will give you access to all aspects of our school community.
