Congratulations to the 33 Green Bay Area Public Schools students who earned the Seal of Biliteracy Certificate from the State of Wisconsin. This year, students earned the Seal of Biliteracy for their proficiency in Spanish, and one student earned the seal for French! Some students as young as 10th grade earned the Seal.

The Seal of Biliteracy credential is included on their high school transcript and recognizes the students' proficiency in English and one or more additional languages.

This year, we proudly announced the reestablishment of the Green Bay Southwest High School Distinguished Alumni Award. This recognition honors Southwest High School graduates who have gone on to accomplish great feats in their respective fields and have impacted the larger community in one positive way or another.

On May 28th we gathered to celebrate four Southwest graduates:
Judge John Zakowski, Class of 1975
Shaney Andler, Class of 1990
Peter Zinda, Class of 1990
Max Scharping, Class of 2014

Thank you to our alumni and their families for spending the day with us and leaving Southwest with some important advice we won't soon forget.

"Don't sleep on high school. You dont know what is around the corner."
"Find good friends, ones that lift you up. Not bring you down."
"To get somewhere you have never been, you have to be willing to do something you've never done."
"Understand your reputation is built long before success arrives."
