An unofficial student web site owned by a former South High student, 
Christopher David, who also worked on the official school newspaper at South High.  
The 4 students who founded the web site were given three day suspensions, and 
threatened with further disciplinary action if they didn't shut down the web 
site.  Three of the students agree to quit the group that launched the web site.  
David, a South High Senior was suspended again, then given an administrative 
transfer for refusing to shut down the site.  There was a story about it in 
City pages, see:

The content of South High Sucks reminds me of the underground student 
newspapers distributed at Park High (South Washington County, MN school district) in 
the early 1970's.  The Park High administration used its network of drug 
informers to track down, then expel 13 students who published the B.F. Good and 
Rich (or the other paper, I forgot which one). With the support of many parents 
nearly the entire student population went on strike demanding reinstatement of 
the expelled publishers, and won.
