As a current senior at Southwestern High School, I have seen many new faces, whether they be students or teachers. Overall, my time at Southwestern has been incredibly memorable and enjoyable. Most teachers show their care and passion for their jobs. Most administration show respect and care for all students. Facilities such as the cafeteria and bathrooms are kept very clean and tidy by janitors, but become gross once students use the areas. As a music student, I have found much pleasure in the music teachers and teaching styles, specifically the band directors. Diversity is lacking at Southwestern, but I can see we have become a more diverse school year after year, which is something every school should strive for. All in all, Southwestern is a growing community of many different people from differing walks of life. I can truly say my four years at Southwestern have been some of the most memorable of my life.
My four years at Southwestern were possibly my favorite so far. Southwestern has amazing teachers, faculty, and an administration that gets things done. At Southwestern there is a very diverse scene, rather it be racially diverse, or politically diverse. Most everyone at Southwestern has respect for one another and they are very few big problems we have within the school.
Southwestern is a very good school. Not only is the building clean, but all of the teachers I've already had so far are so nice, helpful and very caring. I've only been here for 4 months, and I consider it the best school I've been to in my life. From a student' perspective, if we need help, we will ask a question, even if we can't ask. The teachers here help you if you are struggling, and gives you notes for the days you've missed.
