Springfield High School Student Handbook

Your Guide to Life at SHS

Springfield High School students will prepare for postsecondary learning through achieving fluency in the essential skills of reading, communicating, collaboration, and reasoning. Successful SHS graduates will be capable, respectful, responsible citizens of the community in which they live.

NOTE: Substantive changes (i.e. not items that are updated annually as a matter of routine) can be found on the Quick Links to Important Changes page. Recall that enrollment at high school and receipt of the handbook are acknowledgement and acceptance of all policies and procedures. If students have questions about policies and procedures, they should reach out proactively to SHS administration or a trusted staff member.
