Despite the unfamiliarity of distance learning, my school stayed resilient. The teachers make class not only efficient but enjoyable. A new class, Freshman Studies, was made to familiarize students with the school and internet professionalism. Clubs have found innovative ways to accommodate students' interests. We've even had a gaming tournament with our Web Design teacher.
It's a shame that my freshman year will probably be all online, cause I can only imagine how great things could have been in person.

Southwest Career and Technical Academy is a great school if you are passionate about learning more about a specific major. The nursing program that they offer is the best program in my opinion, as they provide the best teaching experience including lectures about the being a healthcare professional and how to treat patients effectively as well as labs to practice skills. In addition, the school provides certification in the program's particular field, which provides the student experience and opportunity to attain a job. Besides the programs themselves, the teachers and staff are kind and enforce safety rules daily.
Southwest Career and Technical Academy is amazing for providing the students with real life experience that will assist later in college and in their future career pathways. Each student picks a major from the professional academy or design academy. The profession academy consists of nursing, dentistry, engineering, teaching, and automotive.
