South Western School District

A Tradition of Excellence

A variety of opportunities to volunteer within our schools and with various school organizations exists, and the South Western School District recognizes that the success of our learners depends on the help of the entire community.

Mentoring

A district-wide mentoring program also exists at South Western. If you are interested in more information about becoming one of our mentors, please see the flyer or contact Jessie Gobrecht, Emory H. Markle Middle School Counselor, with specific questions about the mentoring program.
