However, enrollment jumped to 1,415 the following school year after welcoming another freshman class.2009 levy failureDue to a lack of funding stemming from the repeated failure to pass a proposed local tax levy, all extracurricular activities offered to the student body by the South-Western City Schools district were on hiatus. As of October 12, 2009 the district Board of Education approved a measure that allows for "Pay to Play" participation, where activities are open to enrollment by students that contribute directly to its funding, given that the appealed tax levy will eventually be approved by voters.
