Southwest Local Schools is seeking several Part-Time Cooks to join our Food Service team for the 2026-2027 school year!

These positions are just 3 hours per day (10:00am - 1:00pm), making them a great fit for:

✅ Parents looking to work while their children are in school.
✅ Retirees seeking a part-time opportunity to stay active and connected.
✅ Anyone looking to earn extra income while making a difference in the lives of students.

As a member of our Food Service team, you'll have the opportunity to interact with students, become part of our school community, and help provide nutritious meals each day.

One of the best parts? The schedule follows the school calendar, meaning no work before or after school hours and no work on non-school days.

How You Can Make a Difference in Southwest Local Schools
In response to the May 5 election, many members of our community have reached out asking how they can help support Southwest Local Schools. We are grateful for that generosity and commitment to our students, staff, and schools.

To provide an opportunity for those who would like to give, Southwest has created an option for private donations to directly support our schools.

Donations can be made through the District website (link below) by scrolling down and selecting the “Donate” button on the main page, or by delivering cash or a check to the District Office at 10800 Campbell Road, Harrison, Ohio 45030. You may also see the attached flyer and QR code.

Thank you for your continued support and for your willingness to invest in the success of our schools and our community. Together, we make a difference for our students.

Harrison High School Art 1 classes made origami cranes, inspired by the "1,000 cranes project" in honor of Mr. Coffman. The cranes are a symbol of hope after a loss.

The "1,000 Crane Project" (Senbazuru) is a Japanese tradition used for healing and remembrance after death, based on the belief that folding 1,000 origami cranes grants a wish, often for peace, longevity, or recovery. It offers a cathartic, meditative way to honor lost loved ones, manage grief, and channel emotions into a collaborative memorial.
