Longview Poverty Conference
Longview Poverty Conference
LeTourneau University hosted a Poverty Conference sponsored by the Junior League of Longview last week in order to begin thinking seriously about poverty in our neighborhoods and the impact that poverty has on our city. Geoffrey Canada, a nationally renowned educator, child advocate, author and director of the Harlem Children's Zone, was the featured speaker. He gained national attention with urban revitalization in Harlem, New York that brought success to those living in poverty. He appeared in the award-winning documentary, Waiting for Superman.
Several staff members from all campuses and board members were in attendance to learn about community resources available to help families of poverty and how education plays such a vital role in their future. Mrs. Taylor Clark was instrumental in organizing this event and we are very proud of her efforts in SHISD and the community of Longview. The above picture is SHJH's own Taylor Clark with LeTourneau President, Dale Lunsford, Ph.D.and Dr. Geoffrey Canada, former CEO of the Children Zone in Harlem, NY.

- Cross Country Coach Jordan Alford is a blessing to Spring Hill. She puts so much time and energy into coaching the kids and making sure they have a positive experience. The kids not only grow as runners in the program, but as mature, responsible, motivated students. You can tell that it is a true passion of hers, not just a job. She is also a wonderful role model for the kids. I am grateful to have her coach my child! - SH Parent
SHHS had 269 students qualify for our PRIDE TRIP! Thanks to Wayne Haney and 1st Baptist Church for providing pizza, drinks, cupcakes, and door prizes! We also had a few other anonymous donors give to support this program. - Mr Lind

Spring Hill Cross Country Dominates District Meet
DISTRICT MEET RECAP-
“The miles can build you up, or the miles can build you down…its all how you approach it” And for 68 Spring Hill Cross Country runners, the miles did more than just build up, but gave them a platform for excellence.
Starting back in early June, a handful of runners took to the streets and trails of Longview and White Oak to begin the journey of the 2015 XC season. Then slowly as time continued to pass…more and more runners joined the team, and soon the handful grew into over 60 runners waking up each morning at the crack of dawn to run. Week by week times dropped, the team grew closer, and greatness became a reality that ultimately would be achieved on October 19th in Gilmer. From the varsity girls to the Junior High boys, each and every race had one common factor, and that was that SH would end up on top. Spring Hill ended up with 28 top fifteen finishes, and five out of six championship plaques coming home.
SH as a whole won the meet and ended as the top school for district 16 4-A.
