SHISD Mid-Week Message
Promoting Great Things in a Great School District
Digital Leadership & Service
With so many great things happening in Spring Hill it got me thinking about how to better get the word out about what our students and teachers accomplish on a daily basis. In our school today, most people think we spend the majority of our time getting ready for a test. That might be true for some, but at Spring Hill ISD we are so much more than that. Our students are preparing for a great future that involves being able to collaborate and produce products to keep up in a digital world. So how do we highlight those things?
Social media is one of those tools we can use, but it can be scary for many adults and sometimes used inappropriately by students. Our students live online, so why not encourage them to use those tools to lift each other up and let our community know about the great things happening in our schools. We must encourage them to use social media to show the positive impact education and service to others has on themselves and others. In order to do that, they need time to communicate with each other through social media in a way that serves this purpose.
Our students spend countless hours serving the community of Spring Hill and we push them to think about their place in this world and to take advantage of opportunities to help build each other up as well. Organizations such as "Nerve2serve" at SHJHS, Zonta Club, Leaders Core, and Student Council at the high school, encourage both service and leadership in our students. In fact, there are many examples all over this country of students not waiting to become the leaders of tomorrow; they are grabbing these opportunities today. One example is a teen who created a “Sit With Us” app to help new students find a place to sit at lunch.

PINE TREE “KATY RANCH” MEET RECAP 2016 SEASON
This past Saturday the Boys team lined up 12 deep, to face many of the leading runners in East Texas. Coming off from a year ago, SH had one runner who was constantly in the top ten at this meet, alum Kase White. And with many running this meet for the first time the outlook was unsure of how they would finish, or even compete against runners far more advanced than them. Yet, day after day these young men have worked hard AS A TEAM, pushing the pace for everyone at practice, from bottom to top.
They have become master jokesters, proven to look like the oddest team there is, yet have become the toughest and strongest family of runners in the area, and it showed! Nobody, except for Spring Hill, knew the young men who would line up Saturday would run away with the title, and 40 points ahead of the second place team. And running without their senior Captain, Reese Phillips, who is working to rehab himself from a leg injury in time for district (our secret weapon now J ).
This meet was a proving ground run, the course changed after the first race due to bees, leading the meet organizers to reroute the course to a much more challenging route and postponing the meet to be run later in the day, in the sun and heat! And it is my pleasure to tell everyone just how amazing this group of runners are; they not only work hard to get better, but they lead by example for their younger teammates. Because right after they finished their own race, they turned around and coached up the Junior High runners, who like the High school, work as team and leave no man behind. They fight together at practice, encourage everyone no matter the age, and battle as one against anyone standing in Spring Hill's way of being number one! Congrats JH boys on your second place finish (against all divisions 6A-1A, losing only to a private school, well that is for now… #runthepack #roadtostate2016&beyond

Girls ran a fantastic race from HS to JH, the course was much tougher than previous years, and the heat was a battle in itself. And just like the guys, these young women are champions and work hard day in and day out, many of these runners, took this course for the first time and have learned that Cross Country isn’t for the weak. Missing a few girls on both sides of the teams, they joined together to give it their all. Finishing respectively in both divisions!
