We Start Early

As I walked from my car to my office I encountered girls running halls, the sounds of basketballs in the gym. Four students were studying something - looked like science. Two more students were on their way to the band room. This does not count the two classes that actually operate prior to the start of school.

The doors open at six am. Within minutes there are kids in the weight room, down the hall to lockers and books and then study. Several practice times start that early. All of that continues until 10 pm. We are non-stop at Southwest.

In addition to the huge number of activites - theater, sports and clubs - which involde students every open hour, there are huge number of adults. Some of these are spectators, many are parents, friends, and community members. Community Education at Southwest has a large following and these adults enjoy the services and use the facilities. This is a very cost-effective building.

We are Southwest.
