More Activity Possibilities

We have tremendous athletics and lots of teams for students throughout the school year. There are plays and musicals and dance and orchestra and jazz combos. In addition to these activities we have others that may meet your need and interests.

The SW Chess Team has been successful in recent years. Several State Championships, a few National Championships and numerous individual awards were earned by Chess Team members. For more information email Alex Adams (adams922@gmail.com).

Math Team earns honors each year - both as a team and individuals. David McMayer (math teacher) is the coach and there are several teams from the over 100 interested Math Team members. The team travels to meets after school and practices at SW. Still plenty of time to join the team.

Quiz Bowl is both knowledge and speed of thinking. SW has been in the league for many years and is successful year after year. Team members practice after school and travels to meets during the school week. Talk to either Ms. Wegner (Spanish teacher) or Mr. Ferris (English teacher) for more information.

Debate is in its competition season right now. The Debate Team is in its fourth year and has placed individuals in a variety of tournaments around the Metro area. Debate is a team of two members who compete both affirmative and negative of a given issue for four rounds on Saturdays. The Debate Team practices on Tuesday and Thursday immediately after school in room E103. Contract Dr. Smith (Principal) or Susan Kolze (swspeechdebate@aol.com) for more information.

There are numerous other activities for all interests and levels of involvement. Check out the SW web site and the pages on extra-curricular.
