About

Southwest Schools was founded in 1999 with the goal of providing an exemplary education to students and parents through a school of choice. Students who attend Southwest Schools bring a diversity of interests, cultures, talents, and proficiencies. They have found an atmosphere that encourages students to develop lifelong values and skills. The Middle/High School gives students the opportunity to be part of our Engineering, Fine Arts, or Sports Prorgrams. Currently, students are enrolled in a dual credit Offshore Drilling Technology Certification. With your help, we can do even more to help our teachers help their students become the person they are meant to be.

Southwest Schools is a choice-based Texas education district with an understanding that true learning is not based on standardized testing or college entrance, but on offering a fulfilling educational experience that can be adjusted for each student.
We understand a successful education is one where boundaries are overcome, opportunities are experienced and possibility is realized. Regardless of how a student got here, from the day they start at Southwest Schools we rally around them with the promise of acceptance, encouragement and success.

Marian Kennedy

Dean Of Instruction

As an educator your main goal is to see your students succeed. In order to do that you want to make sure that they have every available tool available to them so they can have that exposure. We want them to be college ready. We do our best to provide the rigor and have high expectations for all our students. They see our passion for our craft and we want to get a fire started within them that will carry on through high school into college. When you see a student learn a new concept it's amazing, seeing them walk across the stage is breathe taking. We touch the lives of so many students, we have an influence that is indescribable and we must always remember we help them find their voice so that they can become our future.
