Welcome to SHS!

Welcome to Springfield High School, home of the Cosmos.  SHS is a NEASC accredited public high school.  At this time, we are working hard to implement recommendations from our recent NEASC report.

 

Additionally, we are working with the Vermont Department of Education to accomplish the required actions for schools identified in corrective action.  This is all very important work, as we strive to improve student performance.

New "Parent Advisory Group" Meets Again....

The second meeting of the Parent Advisory Group will be on Monday, March 12th at 5pm in the SHS Conference Room (Main Office).

The purpose of the new Parent Advisory Group, is to foster a two-way communication between school administration and parents.  The parents can learn about school programs, offerings, and procedures while giving input around potential changes, while the administration will share ideas for future improvement and gather insight into parent-specific concerns about the school

Recent Bomb Scares at SHS

In the past two weeks, the SHS community has been victimized by two separate bomb scares, one in RVTC and one on our side of the building.  In both cases, the building was evacuated and local fire and police were called to the scene.  Also in both cases, sweeps of the building were done by school officials and nothing was found.  Both cases are in the able hands of the Springfield Police Department. 

On Thursday morning (Dec 1), the SHS community gathered together in the auditorium to discuss the effects on all of us, including the greater community outside our walls.

Police Chief Johnston, Fire Chief Thompson, and our truant officer, retired Vermont State Trooper Kevin Anderson joined Mr. McLaughlin and Mr. Thibault in addressing the students.

Please be assured that these incidents are taken seriously and that the administration is following the applicable policies and our handbook in determining consequences for the offenders.

New Mission Statement for SHS

One of our accreditation requirements included the development of a new mission statement.  It seems that the old one did not take into account many of the stakeholders' thoughts and opinions on just what SHS should stand for.  In the past 12 months, we have worked hard to solicit input from staff, students and the community at large.  The result is the new mission statement you see below:

 

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