Im currently apart of southwind's high marching band and i love the school spirit when it comes to supporting the band or sports. A change i would like to see is the college readiness because the school barely talks about college to underclassmen or the whole school in general
5/30/2025
Southwind high school was a really unique experience. There were many cool activities and lots of opportunities if you were in search for them.

It is not the best school but, I will say I enjoyed my time during my freshman year. The time I had during my freshman year was the best, it is what I imagined my high school year to sort of be like. It went downhill after sophomore year.
