Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:
Senior Awards Night is a tradition in the Clark County School District. Southwest Career and Technical Academy has scheduled this special event for May 30, 2012 and it begins at 6:00 pm. We would like to recognize your son/daughter for their hard work and efforts. Seniors who have earned a program medallion, who will be receiving a special award, have been offered a scholarship, and accepted to a college/university will receive recognition at Senior Awards Night. If your son/daughter has received any college acceptance letters, regardless whether or not they plan to attend, Mrs. Clavel will need a copy of their acceptance letter. If your son/daughter has been selected as a scholarship recipient, she will need the awards notification letter. Please give us the opportunity to recognize your son/daughter on this evening by providing us with this information.
Congratulations to SWCTA! In January, we were 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 last Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting was held on Wednesday, May16th. Thank you to all the parents that attended throughout the school year. I encourage all parents to join us next year.
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.
If you would like to nominate a teacher for their exceptional performance, please follow the link on the right side of the website titled “Teacher of the Game.”
Sincerely,
Felicia Nemcek
Principal
