Senior Week

Senior Week, held the week before Graduation, is sort of like Orientation in reverse. With classes and exams but a distant memory, you can finally just chill out, meet or renew ties with classmates, and enjoy Swat for all that it's worth! Traditionally there are a number of events on campus, including the Senior Dinner and Green Bottle, as well as many off-campus trips sponsored by your class officers, such as outings to Philly or the beach.
