Welcome to the Spring Hill School District! Since our establishment in the late 1800s, the district has grown to cover 71 square miles, including three municipalities and parts of two counties. One significant milestone in our history was the school unification process in 1964, which formed Unified School District #230 to serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Currently, we have approximately 4,100 students, and we are growing at nearly 5% annually. Our district is known for providing excellent educational opportunities while prioritizing the needs of our students.

We encourage parents and community members to get involved with district schools and programs, as they play a vital role in our ongoing educational success within a nurturing learning environment. This partnership with families and community members ensures that our students have access to quality schools, which are essential to building a strong community. In addition to academic programs, students can participate in various extracurricular activities and community service projects.

As we move forward, our schools and communities will continue to share a proud heritage and a progressive approach to education for all children. Everyone in the district is dedicated to continuous improvement. With the support of parents and the community, our dedicated staff members work every day to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s opportunities. Ultimately, our success is evident as students become lifelong learners and productive members of a global society.
