Located in the heart of Lakeland, Florida, Southwest Middle School (SWMS) prides itself on tradition and a deep sense of community. The school, founded in 1956, is home to more than 900 students annually.
The Southwest Middle School Campus Modernization master plan, designed by Straughn Trout Architects, will increase student capacity by 30%. The new campus will enrich student lives by creating safe and secure learning environments (both inside and out) while utilizing technology to support student engagement.
