The business department at Southwest is aware of its dual responsibility to students. It fulfills the need for developing proper skills and attitudes in personal typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand. In addition, the department also realizes its specific responsibility in developing vocational skills, such as steno and office skills, for those students choosing business careers. Southwest is the only school in the city to offer Forkner Shorthand, a one-year course. The Occupational Training Program, under the direction of Mr. Poston, offers valuable job experience to interested twelfth-grade students. While still completely filling graduation requirements, participants are able to earn money for security and independence.

Beginning in the ninth grade, students may choose from several elective courses. Algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are offered to prepare students for their life work. As an additional stimulus for math students, the Arrow publishes a column called THIMK which includes many mathematical brain teasers.
