Southwest High School

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU AND WISH YOU THE VERY BEST!!!

A message from our Principal

Dear Friends:

Thank you for visiting the Lincoln Southwest High School website. We are very proud of our school. We have an incredible staff at SW. In addition, our students are among the finest in the country. When you add that our parents and surrounding community give us unparalleled support, we have all of the ingredients for a successful Learning Community. We are working diligently to become a “Community of Learners” because we endeavor to ensure that everyone in our community works to reach their individual potential. We ask the adults to model the habits of successful people so that our students will realize that we never ask them to do anything that we are not willing or able to do. LSW is an exciting place to be! If you are a perspective student or staff member, please take some time to get to know us better by navigating our website. We are confident that you will learn a lot about us.

Please take some time to learn about the four cornerstones of School Improvement that we are developing this year: Professional Learning Communities, Response to Interventions (RtI), School-Wide Student Management (S.O.A.R.), and 9th Grade Academy. Each of these cornerstones is like gears in a transmission. These gears accentuate the power that goes to the Achievement Machine because when each of these systems works well, it is complimentary to the other systems in our Learning Community which translates into greater student achievement. We look forward to having conversations with you about how this works to help us reach our collective potential.

We are in the stretch run of an incredible school year. We are almost finished so we are gearing up for some state championship contests in athletics, our forensic team is gearing up for nationals, and we are preparing for graduation. We hope you will be enjoying some time off to relax and enjoy recreation at the conclusion of this school year. Time with family and friends during the summer break provides a great opportunity to recharge your batteries and prepare for the coming school year. We just had one of the best years ever at LSW. We are looking forward to the 2010-2011 school year as a chance to do even better. Have a great summer!

Take care,

Rob Slauson
