Promoting Great Things in a Great School District
Spring Hill Band Earns 1st Division!
Excellence
Excellence is defined as the condition of being superior. Year after year, Mr. Kiser and the Blue Brigade work towards achieving excellence well before the start of the school year. Excellence is not achieved through luck or hope, it is achieved through great leadership, a strong plan, and hard work. Yesterday afternoon, the Spring Hill HS Band earned 1st division marching contest rating for the 15th consecutive year!
The judges and other directors in attendance at the contest were extremely complimentary of the SH band and our school district. Some of the judges' comments were: "It is very obvious that the band is very well supported at Spring Hill", "Great attention to detail", "Good confidence in all drill maneuvers". It was great to see everyone at the contest supporting our group and through a generous sponsorship from our local music store, many were able to stream the contest live online.
After the contest, the band boosters were in full support, as always, providing a Burger Bash for the students and parents.
From Mr. Kiser - "The band and the directors would like to thank the teachers, administrators, parents and students of the Spring Hill band program for their support. It takes more than the band staff to help our students be successful. Our teachers have been especially generous with their own time during tutorials to help our students be academically successful, so they can participate with the band."
Congratulations to the SH Marching Band on 15 years of Excellence!

Panther Bucks
Panther Bucks were introduced to the high school this month. The emphasis for the year at the high school is SERVANT-HOOD. Our emphasis is that no one is left behind academically-and it is the administration, teachers, and students responsibility through a servant heart to help out each other so everyone can reach their full potential.
From Mr. Lind - To remind our students of this concept, all our teachers received three (3) Panther Bucks. The Panther Buck itself was designed by teacher Laura Jordan. With the help of Holly Whittington, the Panther Buck can be redeemed at "The Spill". Our teachers are to keep an eye open for service acts by our students. Examples are-opening a door, helping a teacher with supplies, helping a student carry their lunch tray, helping a student with homework, etc... The list is limitless. Seeing good deeds sometimes does not get acknowledged, and our emphasis is to look for and acknowledge the servant-hood that is present each and every day on our wonderful campus. As a district, we get what we emphasize and nothing is more important than a servant heart!
