There are portions of the site still under construction, but thanks to R.J. Mattimore, a Junior at SWW and Betsy (Marks) Delaney ('81) – acting as a consultant – the new site should be much more useful to everyone who visits.

SWW Launches www.SchoolWithoutWalls.org

In 2000-2001, SWW students and teachers launched a new web site, hosted at Genesee Gateway. On Monday, July 23, 2001, the site moved to its new location, www.SchoolWithoutWalls.org. In the coming months, the site will be renovated with the help of Dan Drmacich (current Principal), R.J. Mattimore (Class of '04) and Betsy (Marks) Delaney, (Class of '81).

We welcome your comments and suggestions for ways to improve the site as we plan for the redesign. Send your email to alumni@schoolwithoutwalls.org for more information about what's in store.
