Dear Springhill Families, September 21, 2025
We are so proud to share that Springhill Elementary has earned a state letter grade of “B”! This accomplishment reflects the incredible hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and staff. Together, we’ve focused on growth and achievement, and it is exciting to see those efforts recognized.
While we are proud of the progress we’ve made, we also know our journey isn’t over. We believe in setting high expectations for ourselves and our students. That’s why we have set our building goal to earn an “A” rating. With continued commitment, strong partnerships with our families, and a relentless focus on learning, we know this goal is within reach.
Thank you for supporting Springhill Elementary and for trusting us with your children each day. Together, we are shaping leaders and learners who will soar to new heights!
With Eagle Pride,
Mrs. Tazelaar

If there is any kind of emergency on campus, Bryant Public School District will send a informational notice to parents.

What does it mean to be a Leader in Me School?
Springhill Elementary began our Leader in Me journey in 2015 when we adopted FranklinCovey’s Leader in Me framework, based on Dr. Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. For us, this is more than just a program—it is a whole-school transformation model that helps students, staff, and families learn and apply essential leadership and life skills.
At Springhill, we believe every child is a leader. Being a Leader in Me school empowers our students to take ownership of their learning, develop lifelong leadership habits, and make a positive difference in their school and community. It’s about creating confident leaders, not just learners.
In November 2019, we were proud to be named a Leader in Me Lighthouse School, a distinction earned by only a select number of schools worldwide. The Lighthouse designation is a prestigious honor recognizing schools that demonstrate exceptional growth in student leadership, academic achievement, and school culture. This achievement confirmed what we already knew—Springhill shines brightly as a model of how leadership and learning go hand in hand. We are deeply grateful to our staff, students, families, and community for making this recognition possible. Together, we are lighting the way for others.
Now, we look forward to the next step in our adventure: becoming a Leader in Me Legacy School. A Legacy School not only achieves Lighthouse status but sustains it over time with excellence, consistency, and proven results. It represents the highest honor in the Leader in Me framework. Reaching this milestone will show that leadership is not just something we teach at Springhill—it is the very heart of who we are.
