Look for the Compass in your mailbox this week! It’s a celebration of a year of in-person school despite the pandemic. We’re proud of our leaders and our students! https://t.co/ZVcnvbjDhF

This week look for the summer Compass in your mailbox! We showcase our arts, sports, academics, and alumni. In it, we celebrate the the ways our students persevered and found ways to succeed and even enjoy what was a challenging pandemic year!
Our teachers use their summers to re-engage with what they love about their content areas. The process of earning her master’s degree has rekindled art teacher Steph Pieske’s passion for creating. While her classes inspire her students, she’s enjoyed time this summer creating her own work, refreshing her joy in artistic expression. Here’s a fun project Mrs. Pieske did recently: swipe to see her source material and the final product!
AP Scores were released today and we congratulate the 95% of AP Composition and 98% of AP World students who passed the national exam! Our students also blew away the state averages for how many students per class earned the top scores of a 4 or 5.
However, more than scores, Mr. Welle and Mrs. Pettit know the skills students learned in these challenging courses—insightful evaluation of historical events, or clear, impactful writing—will bless their students for whatever path God has for them.
With God’s help, SWCHS strives to train our students to one day lead our country with integrity and wisdom. Happy 4th of July to our families and future leaders!
What a great day we had on Monday at the SWC golf tournament! Thank you to our sponsors; parent, friend, and staff golfers; 15 alumni; and all the helpers who joined us. We are grateful to have such a vibrant community who support our school!
God has blessed Southwest Christian with dads who seek to follow God and lead their families, and we wish them all a happy Father’s Day today!
Gatsby Formal was hot! In addition to the blazing temps outside, students lit up the dance floor and game tables! A few shots of a very fun evening—first and last dance of the year was 💯
(SO to Abbey Road!)
Each year, the SWC staff and faculty highlight the excellence of specific teachers, support staff, and a program.
This year’s winners are:
1) Math teacher Austin Dyck for his patient, clear teaching and humble discipling of students.
2) Mark Bell for fixing all the broken things—and with over 400 students and faculty, you know that everything that can break, does.
3) Our nursing staff (not pictured: Adrien Knotts) who led us through a crazy Covid year with patience, peace, and strength.
Congratulations to all! We appreciate and applaud each of you!
While we love the start of summer and a day off as much as anyone, we want to reflect on the real meaning of this day: to remember those who died serving our country. They put themselves in harm’s way so that the freedoms enshrined in our amendments could be ours. Even as you enjoy this day, reflect on the fallen.
Congratulations to Daniel Bozanich on being selected for the Minnesota Music Educators Association All-State Symphonic Band Ensemble!
Students audition with etudes, scales and excerpts, and only the most extraordinary are chosen. This award represents many hours of practice with Mrs. DeVries, head of SWC’s instrumental program, to assemble his submission, plus years of hard work in private lessons.
To be selected to this group is an honor given only to exceptional music students who have been chosen among the top high school instrumentalists in the state of MN, and we are very proud of Daniel’s hard work to achieve this accomplishment!
Finals start tomorrow! Some reminders: BYO snacks and water, your Chromebook and charger, pens and pencils, and a positive attitude! Tests start at 8 for Spanish, 10:30 for English. Head to your 4th hour classroom or, if you’re a TA or have open hour, find the email from Mr. Flint for your designated room. We’re praying for your calm, confidence, and clarity!
