Lincoln Southwest High School is a public secondary school located in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA and rests on 74 acres adjacent to Wilderness Park. It is part of the Lincoln Public Schools school district. When the school opened its doors in August 2002, it had 1,150 students from grades 9-12, and 77 teachers. Since its opening, the school has expanded to more than 2,000 students. 40% of the students attending do not live in Southwest's zone of the city; Lincoln Public Schools has an open district which allows students to attend schools outside their section of the school district until it is to capacity. Southwest is the only school in Lincoln to operate on a 4X4 block schedule. It also offers a wide range of classes, including Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and is presently the only high school in Lincoln to offer the Japanese language as a class. The school's colors are forest green and silver, and its mascot is the Silverhawk. In 2005, Lincoln Southwest High School had nine National Merit Scholars, more than any other school in Lincoln.
