About

The Southwinds newspaper has been a part of the South Mountain High School community for over 50 years. As with many modern-day publications, the staff members have had to change with the times; our once printed paper is now entirely online. With the change comes many benefits, including our new ability to link up with South’s Jaguar News team, allowing the Southwinds to add a video component to the paper.

While the job of the Southwinds reporters is to cover stories and events of interest to our readers, we would like to encourage everyone in JaguarLand to contribute ideas for future articles. Also, if you would like to take to the keyboard yourself, feel free to submit your thoughts or comments, and we will consider them for publication. Just make sure to include your name and contact information.

You can access the Southwinds at southwindsnewspaper.com. If you wish to contact the the staff, just click on the Submit A Letter button at the top of the page. You can also leave comments on any of the articles we post by scrolling to the bottom of the story.

We at the Southwinds look forward to providing you with stories that inform and entertain. And don’t hesitate to send us  your comments and suggestions.
