Connecting With Our Community

The Southwest Local School District's mission is to ensure "Academic and Social Growth for All Students, Every Day!"

In addition to the outstanding academic opportunities the district offers, we also incorporate numerous initiatives related to social growth throughout the year. From informal projects done by classrooms to three major activities held annually district-wide, these opportunities help develop in our students a sense of community pride, compassion and understanding of the world beyond themselves.

Listed here is information on some of these community engagement and service projects, detailing the good work our students are doing in and for the community and those companies and organizations helping with those efforts.

Community Outreach

Three district-wide initiatives annually:

Local focus - the Mayor's Fund drive, in which canned goods and clothing items are collected in December to assist local needy families
National focus
International focus

In addition, many of our schools and even individual classrooms lead or participate in a multitude of activities which benefit our community and residents.
