A Message From the Superintendent
I hope everyone enjoyed the snow we were blessed with this week and that you were able to make memories with family and friends. I especially liked seeing the snow day photos shared on Spring Hill ISDs Facebook page.
I want to wish our cheerleaders good luck in today’s state competition. These young ladies cheer almost year round in order to provide spirit and entertainment at many of our events. Cheerleaders, know Panther Nation is cheering you on today.
Governor Greg Abbott has declared January 2021 as School Board Recognition Month as a tribute to the hard-working school board members who play such an important role in our communities and schools. I would like to express my personal appreciation to the members of our school board. With your dedication and leadership Spring Hill is able to provide an excellent educational experience for our students.
We have had a great start to the spring semester, and I anticipate completing this school year with great pride.
Go Panthers!

Tour Helps Spring Hill Students Plan For The Future
Spring Hill eighth grade students recently participated in a tour of the High School. The tour will help prepare students to make course plan selections for high school, and will highlight elective courses available at Spring Hill in the areas of Construction Technology, Electrical Technology, Welding, Business Information, Digital Media, Audio/Video Production, and Health Science.
The tour kicks off the pre-registration process for eighth grade students. In addition to the tour, a parent meeting was hosted and individual meetings with each student will be conducted to map out their personal graduation plan.
“We want to help students make thoughtful decisions that will put them in the best position for success in high school and after graduation.” said Adrian Knight, Assistant Superintendent of Career and College Readiness.
The tour and meetings are part of the Career and College Readiness efforts at Spring Hill. Spring Hill’s College, Career, or Military Ready (CCMR) Graduates indicator is 87.3 percent. An indicator 13.1 percent higher than the Region 7 average and 14.4 percent higher than the state average according to the Texas Academic Performance Report.
“Whether students plan to continue their education at a university, college, or technical school, enlist for military service, or enter the workforce immediately after high school, we at Spring Hill are proud to offer a wide range of programs to prepare them for successful post-high school experiences,” said Wayne Guidry, Superintendent.

January is School Board Recognition Month
School board members are the largest group of elected officials in the state, numbering more than 7,000 statewide. They are business owners, retirees, and young professionals who volunteer their time to the community. They are people you see in the store, at the game, and in your neighborhood. The contributions of school board members cannot be overstated. They are shaping tomorrow. We at Spring Hill ISD would like to express our gratitude to our school board members for the work they are doing on behalf of our students and the community.

Spring Hill Community Supports One Another Through Panthers Care
During a time when so many people are struggling, a Spring Hill organization strives to unite the community in lifting each other up. Panthers Care Family Assistance is a program that helps Spring Hill ISD current and former students, faculty and staff members who find themselves in financial crisis. Those in need of assistance with household, transportation or medical expenses can apply for a grant to help ease their burden.
“Through the generous support of our donors we were able to help 37 families in 2020,” said Lori Keller, Panthers Care Family Assistance Board President. “It was our great pleasure to assist Panther families in paying utilities and rent. We stopped an eviction to keep a family home for Christmas, helped a family with hospital expenses and another family with funeral expenses. We were also able to pay off the delinquent lunch accounts of 22 Spring Hill families.”
Panthers Care Family Assistance was established three years ago by a group of Spring Hill alumni. The program is overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors who selflessly give their time and resources to the community they love.
“Our District benefits from strong community support in a number of ways, and that support is evident through programs like Panthers Care,” said Dr. Wayne Guidry, Superintendent.
