London South Collegiate Institute (also known as S.C.I., or simply South) is a public high school in London, Ontario, Canada.
South is administered by the Thames Valley District School Board. Approximately 600 students attend the school from grades 9-12. It offers a co-op program and a program for gifted students called the Academy Program.
The school colours are garnet and grey and the school mascot is the lion. South is known for its academic rigour, sports teams, and the strength of its arts program, which includes drama, visual arts, music, and dance.
The South Collegiate Alumni Association, established in 1999, organizes the school's reunions and alumni events, including annual homecoming events since 2007. South is one of the only high schools in Canada to host a homecoming with football games and a tailgate party.[5]
From May 24 to 26, 2013, South celebrated its 85th year at the Tecumseh Avenue location with a reunion.[6] It commemorated the 100th anniversary of its original founding on May 26, 2023.[7]
