    Attention Southmoreland MS and HS students:

    In 2023-2024, Southmoreland is planning to establish an eSports team for competition with local schools through the Emerald eSports program. Students in grades 7-12 in 2023-2024 will be eligible to join the team. 

    Our mission is to engage our students in a new form of strategy, expression and teamwork through online competition and media.
