Coronavirus
I want to let parents know that we are closely monitoring the spread of the coronavirus and making appropriate plans in case it were to make it to East Texas. One action we can all take to ensure a healthier district is this: If your child is sick then please take them to the doctor and keep them at home. I’m amazed at how many students show up daily to our schools that are ill.
If you are traveling over spring break, please make sure and remember good hygiene. ALWAYS remember the importance of:
- good handwashing with soap and water for AT LEAST 20 seconds
- use of hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't available
- keeping hands away from eyes, mouth and nose
- covering coughs/sneezes with a tissue (followed by good handwashing) or in the inside of elbow
- and discouraging the sharing of food/beverages ~ Superintendent Wayne Guidry

Students Serve Others Through Art
BE SURE AND WATCH THE VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ARTICLE
Students at SHHS are often seen serving others. Not a week goes by that there is not a collection for the needy, a reach out to younger students, or a cause that needs supporting resounding from the 4th-period announcements. But this, thanks to the creative and compassionate efforts of Karen Ender, resident artist and art teacher for the high school. With the monetary support of the high school community, Ender was able to ship her students’ artwork to Pakistan though Memory Project. Ender and students hope to build international friendships and spread goodwill through the arts. And they were successful.
“We’re so grateful for all of the efforts you put into this project,” Ryan Egan, Portrait Project Manager for Memory Project said in an email to the Ender thanking students for the encouragement and help. ” It is our true privilege to do this work with you, and we very much hope to have that privilege again.”
The students and the recipients in Pakistan both gained from this project according to Ender.
“They fully understood that creating the portraits was a way to show them how much you care about their well-being and their future,” Ender reflected.
Spring Hill students will continue to support the community locally and globally as we learn to serve others with our thoughts and deeds. click here for video.
Around the World in 40 Minutes
YBA HONORS TEACHERS WITH BANQUET AND 10 EXTRA MINUTES AT LUNCH
Entrepreneurship, Hospitality, Service, Culinary Arts: Not your typical Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. But, at Spring Hill High School these courses are a critical part of the Career and Technology Education department’s varied pathways to obtain career readiness.
Courses in the Business and Industry Endorsement are designed to help young students see the career opportunities and experience real-life situations in which business and hospitality/service industry traits are used.
The SHHS Faculty and Staff are invited to attend a Trip Around the World, an annual luncheon promoted, budgeted, prepared, and served by the Young Business Association and The Culinary Arts classes, under the direction of Mrs. Holly Whittington, Young Business Association sponsor.
“We feel it is important to put our skills into practice,” sponsor Whittington said. “There is no better way than to show the faculty how much we appreciate all that they do for us.”
Mrs. Whitt, lovingly nicknamed by students, gives students the opportunity to participate in many ways. Not only do her young entrepreneurs operate a coffee shop on campus, The Spill, but also manage a school store, The Prowl, with various school supplies and snacks along with teaching direct instruction on business practices and entrepreneurship as a whole.
“ I cooked the rice and macaroni,” senior Damian White said. “ I am in the principles of business and finance class so I did not plan the menu, only looked at prices and gave service to making it happen.”

Freshman Boys Finish Season as District Champs
In the final game of the season, the freshman boys entered the game in a tie with Chapel Hill with 9-2 records in district. Chapel Hill won the last meeting in Tyler. The game started out really close when the first quarter saw Spring Hill down by 2. Chapel Hill went on a run and spread the lead to 18-8 before the Panthers turned in their own run. Jax Stovall scored 7 in the second quarter with help from his teammates Giddings, Mayhew and Thomas who scored a bucket each. The big difference in the game came in the third quarter when the Panthers outscored Chapel Hill 16-6. The three deep balls came from Brooks Hill, Ryan McClain, and Jax Stovall to help the comeback. Elijah Mayhew had two nice layups as well as Giddings and Bell making it to the freethrow line to add to the Panther total. Chapel Hill added pressure in the fourth to make things interesting but Spring Hill went 6-10 at the stripe to hold things solid for the win.
Point Scorers:
Jax Stovall 15
Elijah Mayhew 9
Isaiah Thomas 8
Brooks Hill 8
Jaden Giddings 3
Ryan McClain 3
Austin Bell 2

A Message From Nurse Jaymie Walton
Spring Hill Parents,
FLU season has arrived!
Common signs and symptoms of the flu are fever greater than 100F, coughing/sneezing,
headache, body aches and extreme fatigue.
Please help us minimize the spread of the flu by keeping your student home if they have a fever
greater than 100F. Your student must also be fever free for a full 24 hours WITHOUT the use of
fever reducing medications like Tylenol or Ibuprofen before they can return to school.
Good handwashing, staying home when running fever and exhibiting flu symptoms and yearly
flu vaccines are the best way to protect your family and reduce the spread of the flu.
Thank you for helping us keep our Spring Hill students healthy!
