South Whitley Elementary School

5th grade spent their last day together as elementary students! They joined the building “Moving on Up!” celebration then got to take their final walk through the halls with the school cheering them on as they were escorted by their favorite people!

Have a great summer Bulldogs!

🎉 It's been an amazing school year! 🎉

As we close the doors on the 2025-26 school year, we want to thank our students, families, staff, and community for making it a year filled with learning, growth, and success.

To all of our students—congratulations on your hard work and accomplishments! We hope you enjoy a safe, fun, and relaxing summer filled with great memories.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the first student day on August 12, 2026. Until then, have a wonderful summer break! ☀️📚😎

All the great activities to finish a year full of excitement, friendship, and of course learning! 5th Grade created Bottle Buddies, 4th grade dabbled in robotics, Kindergarten got a visit from Chewy, and Wildcat Way winners earned lunch out with Mr. Holsopple.

5th grade walked to get ice cream and play at the park today. Their time in elementary school is winding down and we are really going to miss this group. No doubt that they will do great things when moving on up to WJSH. Only 3 more days!

Always so wonderful to see the graduating seniors come back to where their education began to be the heroes that all the current students set a goal to become. Congratulations to the class of 2026!!

4th grade spent time researching famous Hoosiers and finished the research by having a “Meet and Greet” to get to know all the people they learned about.

We had a great morning at Whitko Career Academy!

A HUGE thank you to the SWES PTO, parent and WJH student volunteers! The students had the best field day!
