Welcome to Southwest Middle School, home of nearly 990 amazing 7th and 8th grade students right here in Palm Bay!
At Southwest, we believe middle school should be a time of growth, discovery, and opportunity. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to guiding students through these exciting years by encouraging curiosity, building confidence, and helping every student find their unique strengths.
We are more than just a school—we’re a community. Together with families and the Palm Bay community, we work to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where students feel like they belong. From challenging academics to arts, technology, sports, and clubs, Southwest offers something for everyone to explore and enjoy.
Our values are simple but powerful:
Respect and Responsibility – treating others with kindness and taking ownership of our actions.
Excellence – always doing our best and celebrating progress along the way.
Community – supporting one another and growing stronger together.
Every day at Southwest Middle School is a chance to learn, connect, and prepare for the bright future ahead. We’re proud of our students, our school spirit, and the traditions that make Southwest such a special place.
At Southwest Middle, students don’t just go to school—they become part of a family.
