Welcome back, Trojans!

Welcome back to all the members of the Southwestern Central School District community. I hope each of you has had a restful and relaxing summer and are ready to transition back into your school routines. At Southwestern High School, we are looking forward to seeing all our students for the first day of school, Tuesday, September 3.

It is critical that ALL students feel welcomed, supported and connected to the Southwestern Central School family. In that spirit, we will continue to provide open communication with our families and be available to answer questions or concerns.

We will continue to do our part in ensuring that each of our students has the tools necessary to be successful as we provide high-quality teaching and learning. I encourage our parents/guardians to take an active role in their child’s educational journey; studies continually point to the many benefits of parent/guardian involvement in their child’s educational experience. Thank you for your role in this process as taking an active role in the educational journey of your child has never been more important.

Additionally, we are continuing to emphasize Trojan Kindness for ALL people. Simply put, Trojan Kindness means treating ALL people you come into contact with, as you would wish to be treated yourself (often referred to as the “golden rule”). Striving to live this idea out ALL DAY and EVERY DAY is not just critical for success at the high school level, but also for the world beyond the walls of Southwestern High School.

As a final thought to all our students, I encourage each of you to take ownership of your learning and to be the change you each wish to see in this world. I’m looking forward to all that the 2024-2025 school year has in store for us and will see you soon!

Respectfully,
Mr. Matthew Kindberg
Secondary Principal
