Draft mission statement

Southwest High School seeks to holistically develop young people to become principled members of their communities who demonstrate open-mindedness and caring in their interactions with others. We recognize that young people will inherit a society that is global in nature and seek to expand their horizons to develop international mindedness and to recognize their common humanity across national, racial, ethnic, religious, and political boundaries.

Our educational program promotes learning through inquiry, risk-taking and critical thinking. Students learn to creatively and confidently communicate their knowledge, ideas, thoughts, and solutions, while demonstrating the ability to be reflective and intentional in their thoughts and actions.

Recognizing that education is not only academic, Southwest High School develops the whole person nurturing balanced growth in the physical, social, emotional and intellectual spheres.
