Southwest Elementary Celebrates Completion of New Administrative Office and Main Entrance
The Lawson R-XIV School District is proud to announce the successful completion of the new Administrative Office and Main Entrance at Southwest Elementary. This important project, funded by the April 2024 community-supported bond issue, reflects the district’s ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety and upgrading campus facilities.
The new addition offers a modern and secure main entry, greatly boosting campus safety for students, staff, and visitors. The redesigned administrative office space is more welcoming and efficient, enabling staff to better serve the needs of the school community.
"This project is a testament to our community's dedication to providing the best possible learning environment for our students," said Dr. Stephenson, Superintendent of Schools. "The new entrance and office not only improve security but also create a more welcoming first impression for everyone who visits Southwest Elementary. We are incredibly grateful for the support that made this vision possible."
The completion of this project marks a significant milestone in the district’s long-term facility plan. The district plans to invite the community to see the improvements firsthand at the October 15, 2025, Board of Education meeting. Details about how to visit the building will be shared as the date approaches. #WeAreLawson
