Support for Southwest Students

Without your support it is impossible to provide the quality educational programing that students deserve. Athletic booster, supporters of the Arts and Friends of Southwest make it happen.

The leaders of our community in the future sit in our classrooms today. We need to make sure they have the challenges and opportunities to enrich their high school experience.

$200. is the cost of one set of classroom furniture. A textbook (college level in most class) averages over $100. per student. Fees for Project Success, International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement and accreditation are fixed costs annually. Each student in the course of the year will consume over $650. in class materials. Postage for mid-terms, grades, college applications and various recommendations and references will be over $9,500 in a year. Management of the auditorium averages over $174. per regular school day.

Your support is necessary to make the Southwest experience outstanding for all our students. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation in any amount to support our future.
