We are excited to announce a new partnership with Southwestern College and William Allen White Elementary. Southwestern College recently visited our school to give a 35 minute program talking about five good character traits. The program concluded with a fun slam dunk contest and a meet-and-greet with our William Allen White basketball team and students who are potentially interested in pursuing post-high school opportunities in the game of basketball. We will continue to partner with Southwestern College this year through various activities and opportunities.
