Five students from Southwestern High School received recognition for the prestigious Anthem essay contest. SWHS has had students win the past two years, but never have they had this many awards. The school has never had a student reach such a high recognition as Chase Eastham. Each year, over 14,000 students submit essays from over 100 countries across the world! So, these five students are considered among the top 1% of submissions!
