The school made the Top 20 four years running. A collaboration with NWTC in 2012 to provide credited courses in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) provides students hands on coursework in blueprint reading; welding; and robotics. Additionally, Southwest offers 60 co-curricular activities and a Music Department which has grown substantially this past decade. In 2013, the musical production of Hairspray had two sold out showings with a total attendance of more than 3,000 people. The department is a magnet for students from neighboring schools and school districts.

The Troyettes Dance Team was started in 1985 at Southwest High School by Lola Boor and her daughter, Shawna Landes. Lola and Shawna composed the team's constitution, which is still reviewed and signed every year by ever active Troyette.
The Green Bay Southwest Troyettes perform at home at Southwest High School soccer and football games in the fall, and basketball games in the winter/spring. Besides their tireless support of Southwest High School athletics, the Troyettes prepare competition pom, kick, and jazz routines that they take to local, regional, state, and national competitions every year. Their discipline, dedication, and hard work have translated into a consistent record of successes at the State and National level.
Since the Green Bay Southwest Troyettes receive no financial support from the school and the coaching position has always been a voluntary position for Shawna, fundraisers have been utilized over the years to help the member to defray the cost associated with membership. Uniforms, bus rentals, competition entry fees, camp fees, and the Florida National Competition trip represent some of the significant, annual costs for each member.
The Troyettes incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in 2004, so that past and present members, their parents, and their families can support the Troyette legacy.
