The Great Grants program rewards schools that participate in supporting our community blood supply by hosting blood drives. Spring Hill High School Leaders' Core hosts blood drives throughout the year. In the 2023-2024 school year, the SHHS blood drives impacted the lives of more than 372 patients in local hospitals. Because of these efforts, Carter Blood Care awarded Spring Hill High School a Great Grant in the amount of $500!

High school students are working on credits required for graduation. Part of the Texas Compulsory Attendance Law requires students be in class 90% of the time in each class. That means that after TEN absences, a student is in jeopardy of losing credits needed to graduate!

SHHS wants every student to be successful. A large part of that success comes from student engagement in the classroom. In order to ensure each moment of class time is utilized for learning, students will be required to turn off their cell phones and leave them in their backpacks for the duration of class. Students may access their phones during transition periods and at lunch. We appreciate your support with this needed request.
