Superintendent's Message for April 2025
As we welcome April, Southwest Valley Schools are abuzz with numerous events and activities that showcase our students' talents and achievements. Here's a glimpse of what's ahead:
Prom Night
The Southwest Valley Prom is scheduled for April 5th from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Southwest Valley High School. For details regarding photography sessions, please refer to the district's Facebook page.
Spring Sports
April marks the commencement of our spring sports season. Our teams are eager to demonstrate their skills, and we encourage the community to come out and support them. Notable home events include:
- Girls Tennis: Southwest Valley vs. Shenandoah (Varsity) on April 7th, 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the Southwest Valley Tennis Courts.

Administrative Update
In March, the Corning and Villisca School Boards conducted interviews and selected Mr. Joe Erickson as the incoming Superintendent. A native of southwest Iowa and a graduate of Cumberland Massena, Mr. Erickson brings experience from his tenure at North Iowa Community Schools in Buffalo Center. We have been in regular communication, and he is enthusiastic about joining our district and contributing to our community.
Bond Project Progress
The Corning bond project is progressing smoothly, with noticeable advancements each day. Estes Construction aims for substantial completion by mid-June. The baseball and softball fields are on track to host their first games on May 20th. We plan to host the First Friday BBQ at the elementary school on September 5th.
Community Engagement
We encourage everyone to participate in and support the various events this April. Your involvement greatly enriches our school community and provides invaluable encouragement to our students.
