We are proud to welcome you to Southwest Elementary School. The largest elementary school in Onslow County, we serve children in pre-k through 5th grade.

We believe that every child deserves to be held to high and rigorous standards.

We believe in failure. That is how we learn.

We believe in making lots and lots of messy mistakes. Again, that is how we learn.

We believe that parents, children, and school staff have equal parts in the education of students.

We believe in open, authentic communication.

We believe in joy.

We believe in altruism.

We believe in making our world better.

Welcome to the family!
