South Brunswick High School (North Carolina)
South Brunswick High School is a high school within the Brunswick County School District in Southport, North Carolina. The current principal is Michael "Chip" Hodges.

The school is currently the smallest of the three traditional high schools in Brunswick County Schools. The Cougars compete in the NCHSAA MEC 3A/4A conference and are the smallest school in the conference. After Hurricane Florence the schools enrollment dipped to below 1,000 students for the first time since the early 2000s. The storm caused students to miss schools for around a month and caused much damage to both the school and the community. The school has just recently recovered from COVID-19 pandemic and, as of the 2022-2023 school year, removed the majority of COVID-19 restrictions.
