OverviewElmira High School, commonly referred to as EHS, is a high school in Elmira, New York, United States.

In 2014 Elmira City School District Elmira City School District renamed Southside High school "Elmira High School" Serving 10th, 11th and 12th Grades only.Until the 2011-2012 school year, EFA would play Southside High School in football for the Erie Bell. In 2011, it was announced that the long-standing rivalry between the schools would come to an end and they would combine. The two high schools combined their sports teams by the 2011-12 school year. A community vote was taken to determine what new mascot and colors people were interested in. On May 25, 2011, the district officially announced that the new team would be called the Elmira Express, a common nickname for Elmiran legend Ernie Davis, the first African-American to ever win the Heisman Trophy in the sport of football. The colors will be red, black, and white.The school has the honor to be recognized by the New York State Education Department as the only high performing school in the district, scoring the highest averages on state testing and curriculum exercises. Southside offers many special classes such as AP and ACE classes that could potentially count for future college credits.
