Won't see this for many months. Monday, August 25 the exciting 2014-15 Southwest school year begins. And the adventure starts another time.
Over the summer months I met with various Southwest alumni classes. The Cl;ass of 1949 was one of them. 65 years since high school graduation. That is even difficult to image. Just think of the changes in our country and world since then.
In 1949 the area surrounding Southwest was corn field and few homes. Students walked home for lunch. The entire Southwest student population was under 800. It was a different era.
Monday is the start for about 375 seniors and their last set of steps down those halls. For the about 480 9th graders Monday is the beginning of that adventure that is another step toward adulthood and the world of work. For all it is another bunch of school days attempting to empower them to reach their dreams.
Empty hallways are just that - empty. In a few hours they will be alive and once again a school with action and excitement. Welcome back, Southwest Lakers!
