School War II or the Second School War (31 January 2018 – 14 November 2022) was a conflict between two gang members in South City High School. Nearly all the other year levels in the school participated and caused more than twenty deaths. The war started when Alex Singh vowed to take full control of the school for his entire school career with various twelth graders vowing not to allow him to take control. Singh formed the group called the School Warriors who aimed to make the place their own.

The conflict's roots begins in 2016 through to 2017, prior to Singh moving to South City High School. During this time, Singh was bullied by over five students who believed Singh to be dangerous. By the time he finished primary school in November 2017, Singh began making a idea to form a gang called the "School Warriors", to help people who were bullied stay safe. Singh met Jeff Wilder on 16 January 2018 during a tour of the school. The two became friends and formed the gang. The first major conflict was when Singh was internally suspended because of him punching a person who used a racial slur. Singh swore war on 31 February 2018. By that time, the School Warriors gang had achieved a greater role in the school and swore to stop bullying in partnership with officials from the school.

In 2019, the School Warriors and the School Ravens were at battle throughout the yard causing immense damage, though Singh managed to get out without punishment.

Start and end dates

The School War II began in early 2018 and the actual start date ranges from 30 January 2018 through to 31 January 2018.
