Salina High School South is a 5A public school in Salina, Kansas, for students from grades 9 to 12. About 2600 students attend South each year, and ninety certified staff are employed at the school, including building Principal Myron Graber. The school is located at 730 E. Magnolia Road, a brown building distinctly recognized by its three "pods" (circular hallways named the 200, 300, and 400 Pods), doorless classrooms with faux walls, and scarcity of windows. The school also houses a school library, two gymnasiums, indoor pool with a separate diving section, and auditorium complete with stage and props for plays. Although the school is dominantly single-storied, there is an upstairs office above the library, a basement floor beneath the main office, and a basement floor beneath one of the gymnasiums.
