The mission of the nationally recognized SWAT concept is to promote student leadership training, address technology competencies, provide outreach to the community through parent involvement, corporate support, and student community service, and to encourage collaboration among student SWAT Teams nationally.

Overton's S.W.A.T. Team is directed by Mr. Anthony Johnson and is comprised of six students to advance the technology program at Overton. The students advance their level of technical skills while also assisting other students and teachers with computer skills. National and State Technology Competencies are addressed as the foundation of the SWAT Team's Mission.
