South St. Paul Secondary (also known as South St. Paul High School) is a public high school in South St. Paul, Minnesota, United States. It is part of the South St. Paul Public Schools district, and is no longer an International Baccalaureate World School in Grades 6-10 after changing in 2023.

History

Construction was started on the original building in 1905; the school opened on January 23, 1907, as Central High. It was renamed to its current name in 1911, when a new building was constructed. An expansion occurred in 1923 and an auditorium and athletic fields were finished in 1930. In the early twentieth century, the school housed night classes for immigrants who wished to gain American citizenship.
