Green Bay Southwest High School

Green Bay Southwest High School Southwest High School serves more than 1,000 students in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The heart and soul of Southwest High School is our academic achievement.

Green Bay Southwest High School’s motto, “With Courage and Determination, Together We Will…,” highlights the characteristics of effort and teamwork we believe is necessary to prepare students for their future. The hard work our students and staff put in continues to pay dividends for our community. Our state test scores increased over 10% in Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies last year as

compared to the previous year. Our school ACT composite average score remains a full point over the state average as we continue to increase the number of students taking the ACT test. With strong Advanced Placement and Concurrent College Enrollment Course programs, Southwest students are not only prepared for college, but enter college with credits that save their parents thousands of dollars. The spirit of Southwest High School is generated from our co-curricular activities. A wide range of successful athletic, musical, dramatic, academic, and service-orientated activities allow our students to prove themselves beyond the classroom. We commonly hear students say that these activities are their most memorable and why they feel most connected to friends and staff at Southwest High School. Our goal is to have every student in at least one co-curricular activity each year at Southwest. Whether students want to go to Harvard, UW-Madison or Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, or plan on entering the workforce or the military, Southwest provides the preparation they need to succeed!

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."
