Mrs. Natalie Grayson, Executive Director of Elementary Education, recently visited Darbydale Elementary School as a guest educator, and worked with students on an engaging writing skills lesson.

Using the imaginative prompt “Flight is the best superpower because…,” students explored how to develop a strong topic sentence and support their ideas with details that explain their thinking.

The lesson encouraged students to find their voice as writers while learning how to turn their ideas into clear, meaningful sentences.

Historic news for South Western City Schools: Issue 6 has officially passed! 🎉

To our SWCS families, partners, and community members - thank you. Your incredible support and trust allow us to tackle aging infrastructure and make transformative investments in our students' learning environments.

Thanks to your support, the district has secured an additional $113 million in state support which will result in:
✨ Brand-new, state-of-the-art facilities for Grove City High School and Westland High School
✨ Significant facility and extracurricular enhancements for Central Crossing High School and Franklin Heights High School to include turf performance and football fields at all high schools (joining Grove City High School)

Planning and design work will begin immediately as we prepare for construction starting in 2028, with doors opening in late summer 2031 for the 2031–2032 school year.

We are deeply grateful for your continued partnership and shared vision for our generations of Comets, Cougars, Golden Falcons, and Greyhounds to come.

On Election Day tomorrow, SWCS will have its first No-New-Millage Bond Issue on the ballot since 2018 focused on high school construction projects to replace Grove City High School and Westland High School - all without raising the tax rate for residents (the same rate since 2009).

Should Issue 6 be approved, it would allow the district to implement Segment 3 of its long-range facilities plan and bring in approximately $113 million in matching state funds to our district that would result in:

🏫 The construction of a new Grove City High School
🏫 The construction of a new Westland High School
⚙️ Address Career-Technical Education waitlists for students at the South Western Career Academy
🌱 Invest in targeted facility and athletics enhancements to Central Crossing High School and Franklin Heights High School
🌱 Both potential GCHS and WHS new builds will be approximately 38% larger in square footage as well

To assist community members, parents, and staff with any 'night before inquiries', a reminder that we have developed a comprehensive FAQ accessible on our website regarding Issue 6.

Cheering on their community, on and off the sidelines!

Last week, members of the Franklin Heights High School varsity and JV cheerleading teams traded their pom-poms for a day of service at the Mid-Ohio Food Collective!

Students rolled up their sleeves to help set up, stock shelves, assist with checkout, and clean the market, helping prepare food for local families.

A great example of our SWCS students making a difference beyond the classroom. Thank you to these student-athletes for giving their time to support our community!

A pumpkin patch right on the playground!

Kindergarten students got a special fall surprise today when their playground was transformed into a pumpkin patch! After spending time learning all about pumpkins in the classroom, students had the chance to pick out their very own pumpkin, explore its different parts and learn from a local farmer from Circle S Farms.

What a fun way to bring classroom learning to life and celebrate the fall season!
