Spring Hill Homecoming was filled with activities and dress-up events to celebrate school spirit. The weeklong celebration culminated with a spirited pep rally, Homecoming Court presentation with Emerson Brown crowned as Homecoming Queen, and a Panther Football win against Gladewater!
Start With Hello Week
Spring Hill campuses participated in National Start With Hello Week. Start With Hello Week encourages students to make a difference with their peers through small but powerful actions that promote a connected community of learners so that no one ever feels alone.
“Start With Hello Week activities are designed to make students feel important and to create a sense of belonging among classmates,” said Amy Doron, Spring Hill Primary Counselor.
Some of the activities included wearing green as a reminder to go out and help make other students feel special, decorating name tags, tipping your hat to kindness, and smiling to say hello.
Students Participate In See You At The Pole Event
Students met at their campus' flagpole before school on Wednesday, September 25, as part of See You at the Pole. See You at the Pole is a nationwide, student-led opportunity for students to gather and pray for the school, students, teachers, and nation.
Spring Hill High School students in Mindy Borden's Principles of Health Science classes recently explored various careers in the health science field. As part of their study, students created a free-standing healthcare facility model. The students were then tasked with researching the employees needed at the facility to determine their job descriptions, income, and education requirements.
The 2024-2025 Academic Calendar is available at the District Calendar page at SHISD.net.
