Principal

Ms. Amanda West

Greetings Southwest Colts Community!

I am extremely honored to serve as principal at Southwest Middle School.  Although I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I have served in Onslow County Schools for my entire educational career.  When I am not at school, I can be found watching the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates play in their respective seasons.  I am proud to call Onslow my home and feel blessed to serve the Southwest students, families, staff, and community.  As principal, I strive to ensure the success of all students, so please feel free to call or email if you have any questions or concerns.
