Every Child, Every Day

Over the past several years, Southwest ISD has witnessed an amazing turnaround in student outcomes. More students excel and matriculate to college, the workforce and the military. And the proportion of students meeting standards in core subjects has increased significantly. We are proud of our new heights in achievement. However, we are not satisfied because the continuous
growth and success of every student are what matters the most.

Our new five-year strategic plan – “Every Child, Every Day” –marks the beginning of the next phase of our commitment to providing opportunities for all learners to become confident, resilient, and successful global citizens.
