Athletics
Our Athletics Department
Being a South Sumter High School athlete means more than just playing a sport—it’s about representing our school with pride, commitment, and heart. Raider Athletes learn the value of hard work, discipline, and teamwork, both on and off the field/court. It’s an opportunity to grow as a leader, build lasting friendships, and be part of a tradition that brings our community together. At South Sumter, wearing the Raider uniform is an honor—and a responsibility that builds a tradition that never graduates.
