From the beginning, South Pointe has wanted to belong. In this town, that always has meant holding your own on Friday nights.
South Pointe High School opened in 2006, the first high school to open in football-crazy Rock Hill in 30 years. In that time, Rock Hill High School and Northwestern High School had established one of the fiercest high school football rivalries in the country and produced a prodigious amount of NFL players.
“When we opened, people were thinking it was going to water down the talent and everyone was going to suffer,” said Al Leonard, the principal at South Pointe since the school opened in 2006.
