Principal's Message


Hello Springwater Students and Families,


As strange as it may feel, Springwater and the Gresham-Barlow School District DO have school next week: all students have school on Monday, December 19th and Tuesday, December 20th. Winter break begins on Wednesday, December 21st.


Tonight is our winter dance! Student leadership has been busy planning the festivities and a dance is the perfect way to celebrate the upcoming break. In addition to planning the winter dance, leadership has also been organizing our December food drive. Thank you to all the students and families who donated items for Springwater families in need this holiday season!


Winter break runs from Wednesday, December 21st through Tuesday, January 3rd. We look forward to welcoming all students back in 2023 on Wednesday, January 4th! I hope everyone has a safe and restful holiday break. As we all navigate the ups and downs of the holiday season, please remember to be patient with yourself and those around you. Take care and reach out with concerns or questions!

Ash Manley-Meyers

Future Plans After High School: I have an idea of what I want to do, but it’s not set in stone yet because I haven’t found the proper college to go to. I want to go to school to be either a forensic scientist or to become a mortician’s assistant. I haven’t decided yet.

Grade: 11

Interests: I like taking things apart and putting them back together, like figuring out how things work on the inside. I play video games a lot. At the moment, my favorite is Metroid Prime for the GameCube.

Favorite subject in school: Does lunch count? But an actual class, I like Veida’s Environmental Science class. It’s pretty fun.

Favorite thing about STHS: It’s a small community. It’s much more enjoyable than bigger schools, from experience.

STHS Counselor Erin Norden

Hello! With Linda Centurion's retirement, I will be transitioning to the counselor position at Springwater on January 4th. For the last 3 1/2 years I have been the Attendance/Counseling Secretary at STHS, so this new role is extremely exciting for me. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in International Studies and a minor in Political Science. I am finishing up my School Counseling Graduate Degree at Lewis & Clark College with a graduation date of Summer 2023.


Springwater has an extremely special place in my heart already. This small community that is dedicated to students and the success of everyone who walks through our door means a lot, especially after experiencing the isolation that came with the peak of the pandemic. I am ready to be there for you and your students in this new role. Please reach out with any questions, concerns, and inquiries. I am always available to meet in-person, virtually, through the telephone or via email.


Con la jubilación de Linda Centurion, estoy en transición para ser la consejera en Springwater Trail High School empezando el 4 de enero de 2023. Por los últimos 3 1/2 años estuve en la posición de secretaria de asistencia/consejera en STHS, así que este trabajo nuevo es muy emocionante para mí. Me gradué de la Universidad de Oregon con un título de Estudias Internacionales y un menor en Ciencias Políticas. Estoy terminando mi título de Consejera de Escuelas en Lewis & Clark College con una fecha para graduarme en el verano 2023.



Springwater tiene un lugar muy especial en mi corazón. Esta pequeña comunidad que es dedicada a los estudiantes y el éxito de todas las personas que entran a nuestras puertas significa mucho para mí, especialmente después de la experiencia de aislamiento que entra con el pico de la pandemia. Estoy lista para estar allí para ti y sus estudiantes en este nuevo trabajo. Por favor contáctame con preguntas, preocupaciones o consultas. Estoy siempre disponible en persona, virtual, por teléfono o correo electrónico.
