Southwest Alumni and Foundation Make It Happen

Harvey Feldman graduated from Southwest in 1961
"First Class Kids Deserve First Class Facilities."
stated Feldman prior to turning on the lights
 

" I worked hard all my life and had some success.  If I look back on my life it all was possible because some people believed in me."  reported Harvey Feldman 1961 Southwest Graduate

Art Frederickson and Dave Peterson were coaches that developed character and integrity in the young people who with they worked.  Never give up.  Give it your all.  Determine, hard work and perseverance.  Those are the key words for success.

"I now have the opportunity to invest in the next generation."  Harvey Feldman started a wave of enthusiasm and spirit that according to him  "is only a start."  Community and school spirit are important.  We need to come together as a neighborhood and community and support the needs of our kids for them to grow into the leaders of tomorrow that we want them to be.

Working with the Southwest Foundation, Harvey has motivated renewed interest in an Alumni Association and an Alumni Hall of Fame.  In the coming months there will be several announcements of continuing plans.

You can participate in these efforts.  Check out the Southwest Foundation web site and offer your services to the projects of your interest.  The entire school community is involved as we continue to inspire excellence in the academics, arts and athletics.
