The school is known for its excellent academic programs, award-winning band program, and successful athletic programs. In the 2009-2010 school year, they won the annual football game against Effingham County High School. This game is always important because of the ongoing rivalry between the two schools since the split.

The current principal is Dr. Torian White, who took over in 2019. He is the first principal of South Effingham who is also a graduate of the school, graduating in the class of 1999.
