ADMINISTRATOR'S MESSAGE

Dear Spring Hill High School Families, 

As we move through the busy fall season, it’s a great time to pause and reflect on what we’re thankful for. Gratitude isn’t just about the big things — it’s found in everyday moments: a kind word from a friend, a teacher who takes extra time to help, or the chance to be part of a supportive school community. When we take time to appreciate what we have and the people around us, we strengthen our connections and build a more positive environment for everyone. Let’s take this season to show kindness, express thanks, and remind those around us that they matter.

It’s always a great day to be a Bronco!

Mrs. Kelly Heizman, assistant principal
