Toms River High School South is a comprehensive four-year public high school, and was the first high school established in Toms River (formerly Dover Township) in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as part of the Toms River Regional Schools.

The school day starts at 7:15 AM[4] and lasts six hours and 20 minutes.[5] Toms River high schools have some of the earliest daily closing high schools in New Jersey, closing at 1:35 PM every day.[6][7][8]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,359 students and 92.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.6:1. There were 302 students (22.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 71 (5.2% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

The school colors are maroon and White.[3] The school has four mascots: Indian, Indian Princess, Super Maroon, and Spirit.[9] During the 2014–15 school year, the mascots were Indian XLVII, Princess XLVI, Super Maroon XXXVII, and Spirit XVI. The mascots appear at every football game of the High School South Indians, which also feature the longtime "Voice of the Indians", P. David Correll Jr., as public address announcer.[9]
