South Shore School District is located in Port Wing, Wisconsin and serves students in grades Pre-K through 12.
The name South Shore was suggested in 1942 by Alice Okkonen, an elementary school teacher from Herbster, Wisconsin.
The first “schoolhouse” was built in 1893 by Irving Herrick as a small log structure near Larson Creek and Twin Falls.
Because of the growing enrollment, the Town of Port Wing built a larger three-story white school in 1903 costing $25,000.
There are fewer sports than at most schools, but they include baseball, cross country, football (added in 2021-2022), volleyball, and basketball.
South Shore has two gymnasiums and a track and field area on campus, along with two smaller outdoor courts and a playground.
