Welcome to the Southwest Career and Technical Academy website. We are very proud of the eleven programs we are offering to the high school students in our community. The school is divided into two smaller learning communities – the Design Academy and the Professional Service Academy. Within the smaller learning communities, students share English, math, science, social studies, electives, and program classes with fellow students who share a common career interest. In the classroom, project-based learning activities will simulate real-world experiences, preparing the students for entry into the world of work, post-secondary training, or college and university life.

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:
Congratulations to SWCTA! We have been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School. The Apple Distinguished School designation is reserved for schools that have demonstrated Apple’s highest vision of a successful 21st century learning environment. We are the first school in Nevada to receive this recognition. This honor is due to our school’s innovative use of educational technology and providing students with a 21st century learning environment both within the school and at home. There are only fifty-six K-12 schools across the nation that share in this recognition. Thank you for your support of our school and the students. For more information, please click to see the media release.
The next Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting is scheduled for February 15th at 6:00 pm in the Banquet room. Please park in the west parking lot in front of the B building.
There will be no school on Monday, February 20 and Tuesday, February 21.
Our first graduation will be June 12, 2012 at 3:00 PM. The ceremony will be held at the Orleans.
We have added an activities link at the top of the website. You can find information for upcoming events, the lists of all clubs and activities, and the activities calendar.
