South Point, as it is today, is a large family comprising about 12,500 students, 425 teachers and 260 members of non-teaching staff. It runs in two shifts. It has the distinction of being mentioned as the world’s largest school in the Guinness Book of World Records in the editions from the year 1984 to 1992. The School emblem, showing a bird in flight, symbolizes man’s undaunted quest for knowledge.
