Due to the widespread damage of the recent storm impacting Houston, Southwest Public Schools will remain closed Monday, May 20, 2024. We continue to work with city officials to assess our campuses and ensure we are ready to reopen and meet the needs of our students.
We are sensitive to our families, staff and students, and we assure our teachers and administrators will work with students regarding assignments, and all students will have opportunities to complete the necessary assignments for promotion and graduation. Any campus specific updates will be communicated by campus principals. Graduation for Empowerment HS is still scheduled for Wednesday, May 22, 2024.

Today, we celebrate the rich culture and heritage of Mexico. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
