Dixie High School is located in St. George, Utah, and can be found at 350 East 700 South. It is a Utah Class 3A school with around 1,300 students. Dixie will move up to the Utah 4A Classification for the 2007-2008 school year. Dixie High is known in Southern Utah for its rich traditions and history. The school's mascot is the Flyers. Larry Bergeson is the current principal of the school, and he is known for playing basketball at the college level. Dixie High School was the first high school in St. George, Utah, being founded in 1911 under the name "St. George Academy" in conjunction with Dixie State College of Utah, the schools separated in 1963, when the college left the campus. The school took on the name Dixie in 1913, and the tradition of white-washing "DIXIE" on the Sugarloaf (a sandstone formation overlooking St. George) began at this time as well.

Dixie High School offers a wide variety of Advanced Placement programs and opportunities for concurrent enrollment at the nearby Dixie State College of Utah.

In 2004 Dixie High School was moved into a brand new, three story building. The old building was torn down in 2004. By the beginning of the 2005-2006 school year, the brand new Dixie High school campus was complete, with a new Gym and a water feature stretching along the school between the gymnasium and the main school building. Much of the old school is now gone, but there is one classroom left over from the old school which is used for auto-tech type classes.

Dixie Flyers Fight Song

We'll fight for the cause of Dixie, no stain shall mar her name.
Her foes shall meet sure disaster, as they met her in life's game.
Resistless her men push onward, as they hold her banners high.
Defeat never comes to Dixie, for she has no alibi.
Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie,
We'll stand by her through all trials, At her shrine our knees will bend.
A faithful guide she has ever been, When we needed most a friend.
Her mountains and hills may crumble, but her spirit ner' will die,
Defeat never comes to Dixie, for she has no alibi!!!

Dixie High School Hymn

Oh Dixie we love thee, To thee, We'll be true.
Oh Dixie we honor thee with thy emblems white and blue.
Thy days always golden, thy skies so fair,
Shed radiance on Dixie High and warm our spirit rare.

As I wander down life's highway,
May I always take with me,
The memories of Dixie High wherever I may be.

So three cheers for Dixie High and to her noble quest,
For learning and honor, May we always give our best.
A prayer for our Dixie High, the bold Blue and White,
May ideals they stand for, E're be a Beacon Light.

Arts

In 2001 Dixie High began construction of the new building with the completion of a new Arts department, complete with auditorium, choir and instrumental rooms. The arts work together during the year, not only during concerts, but especially during the school musical. The choir students are often involved on stage while the band and orchestra students play in the pit orchestra below the stage. Thoroughly Modern Millie, starring Cami Glauser, Glenn Rowley, Chelsea Wilson, Mack Whitehead, Camille Snow, Karly Staples, Justin Tibbs, Kierstin Behunin, and Taylor Brown was Dixie High's most recent musical while You Can't Take it With You, starring Jeremy Tibbs, Tess Holman and Paul Stevenson was the most recent straight play. Both shows were an immediate success. Recently Dixie's Advanced Drama Class went to Region 9's Drama Festival where Taylor Brown got all superiors in her rendition of "Mommy's Make-Up".

All three instrumental groups (Symphonic Band, Varsity Jazz, and Orchestra) went to state in 2007. Orchestra came home with an average of 1-, or a superior. Derek Thomas won Best Trumpet solo in state Jazz.
