Good evening Southwest High School! I hope this blog finds you doing well, rested up for the start of school, and motivated to do your best!
First and foremost, as you have heard by now, our bell schedule has been changed due to the awful traffic congestion on Barrow and Southwest School Roads. We shared the new bell schedule as soon as GCS confirmed these changes. If you believe this may interfere with your child's schedule, please reach out to your counselor. If your child's counselor happens to be one of our new counselors; Ms. Shelli Campbell (E-L), or Ms. Kendra Graham (M-R), please e-mail Ms. Galissia Graves at gravesg3@gcsnc.com.
New bell schedule
Students arriving before 7:40 should wait in the:

If there are schedule change requests, a scheduling change request form must be filled out and turned in. The first two days of the school year are dedicated to scheduling new enrollees and working with students who have a repeated class on their 1st semester schedule, a class out of order (level 2 before taking level 1), or a hole in the schedule. Days 3-5 will be focusing on all other scheduling changes.

Open House - Monday, August 19th - 5PM to 7PM. Come meet your teachers, walk the halls to get an idea on how to best navigate. Visit the Italian ice truck or Wings food truck while on campus that evening. A portion of the proceeds will go right back to the PTSA. If you need the most updated schedule, we will have it ready for you. Please remember that schedule changes will not be responded to that evening. Schedule change forms however will be available. Also, transportation will be on site and there will be spirit wear for sale.
A heads up for AP students, it is never too early to start accessing the materials to be better prepared for your AP classes. AP students need to ask their AP teachers to share a join code to access AP classroom resources.
