It's that time of year again! Longo Claus and Elf Carlson will be visiting SWHS Thursday during all four lunch waves. For only one dollar, you can get your picture taken with them during your lunch time. All proceeds will be donated to the Jimmy V Foundation for cancer research. If you are camera shy, please donate any amount you can afford to the foundation.


The SWHS Mock Trial team competed in the regional round of the state competition over the last two weeks. Despite strong performances, the team split its case presentations and did not advance to the quarterfinals.  Thanks to all who participated in this great activity and best of luck to our senior lawyers: Asli Awale, Hannah Liebowitz and Bazila Munir!
