Attention students attending Homecoming: In order to attend after school activities such as the Homecoming football game and dance, students must attend at least half of their class periods on that day. Advisors and administrators will be checking attendance throughout the day to ensure that all students attending homecoming meet these requirements. In addition, the latest that students can enter the homecoming dance is 8:00 PM. All those arriving after that time will not be permitted. If students are admitted to the dance and then leave, please know they will not be readmitted into the dance.
Today is the re-opening of the SWHS Writing Center. The Writing Center is a place where you can stop by after school to get one-on-one help with your writing assignments from peer tutors and English teachers. We are open late on bus days (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) from 2-3 pm in Room 136. No appointment is needed. Drop on by for help with your essays, lab reports, QPAs, college essays, and more! If you have questions, please see Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Price, or Mr. Hawie.

This year, we will be offering both administrations of the test: the AMC 10/12A and the AMC 10/12B! The AMC 10/12A will be given during the school day on Wednesday, November 8. It will be administered during Period 2 and part of Period 4 in the cafeteria that day. You will miss these classes and will be marked as ACT (school activity) in Powerschool (you will return to Period 4 after the test is complete and all materials have been collected).
The AMC 10/12B will be given after school on Tuesday, November 14. Students will meet in the SWHS cafeteria at 3:00pm, and we should be done by 5:00pm.
You may take either administration or both (for SWHS students), depending on your goals or availability. If you are interested in participating, you must first join the AMC 10/12 Google Classroom.
