Principal's Message

Hello Springwater Students and Families,


We have 4 weeks left of the school year (seniors have less)! Summer is right around the corner! We had a wonderful Community Care Day at Dabney State Park two Fridays ago. The weather was warm (possibly the warmest we've had at Dabney). Students did a great job giving back to their community.


This past Friday we had a great chunk of students attend the Women In Trades Fair. Students learned about different trade careers and had the opportunity to complete hands-on projects. We missed this wonderful annual event during COVID!


We have our Spring Fest on Friday, June 2nd. The morning will be ACCESS periods: giving students a chance to get caught up on classes, retake tests, and get additional support from teachers. The afternoon will include baby goats, fun games, and celebration: another school year is almost over!


These next few weeks will go extremely fast. We are encouraging students to hang in there and do their best between now and summer. We have begun reaching out to families of students who need to make up credit at summer school. Please let us know if you have questions so we can create a plan to get every student back on track.

Naomi Madrigal

Future Plans After High School: To be a cosmetologist or a tattoo artist

Grade: 11

Interests: I like to draw and, honestly, just vibe around. I like to edit, Twitch stream, play video games, and sometimes even do crocheting and knitting. Honestly, a whole bunch of things.

Favorite subject in school: I have a few. I like painting class and art class, but honestly, it’s not really the subject that I like. It’s more of the teachers. Mostly just Leadership and hanging out with those in Leadership is fun. Ramsey makes it fun.

Favorite thing about STHS: The teachers and students and how they all get along with each other. It’s not really chaotic and we all kind of harmonize around each other. It’s fun. Everyone knows everyone. I, personally, love the school because it’s just one big family. You truly feel loved and heard here.
