## School history

[edit]

Southwest Covenant School was founded in 1982 as a non-denominational Christian school,[1] originally offering instruction to children in pre-school through sixth grade. In 1984 SWCS expanded through the eighth grade. In 1991, the school added grades 9–12, with the first senior class graduating in 1996. SWCS moved into a new secondary facility in 1996. Until then the school conducted classes for grades six through twelve at Trinity Baptist Church in Yukon and Putnam City Baptist Church in Warr Acres, until they built their own facility in the fall of 1996. In 2014 a ground-breaking was held for a new elementary school directly west of the secondary facility. The elementary was completed in 2016. A new high school building was also built, with its completion coming in 2023.
