Southwest High School and Staff were honored at the Minnesota ACT Conference as the Exemplars of College and Career Transition Award.
About the Campaign
Established in 2013, the annual ACT College and Career Readiness Campaign celebrates achievement and creates awareness around the goal of college and career readiness for all. The Campaign recognizes exemplary college and career readiness efforts by employers, community colleges, high schools, and students in participating states.
There are top-performing companies, excellent schools, and phenomenal students across the country, and they are all worthy of praise. However, ACT developed the Campaign to shine a light on individuals and institutions that are doing more with less, overcoming personal or community obstacles, and serving as examples to others working to improve the condition of college and career readiness for all.
