Springfield Southeast High School (SSHS or Southeast High School to natives) is a public high school located in Springfield, Illinois. Southeast is the youngest high school serving Springfield Public Schools District 186, the oldest and second oldest being Springfield High School and Lanphier High School respectively. True to its name, this school feeds from the southeast area of Springfield. It was originally built as a bomb shelter and, until 1992, did not have any windows.
As of the 2007-2008 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,350 students and 61.0 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 22:1. The school is well known for its athletics, mainly basketball. They are the current City Champions in basketball. The school has had a choir member be selected for the Young Americans.[3]
A large fiberglass statue of a Spartan warrior stands above the front entrance of the school. The statue originally stood at a home builders business and was meant to portray a Viking but was later modified.[8]
