Welcome to the Spring Hill School District! From our start in the late 1800s, the district has grown to encompass 71 square miles of land, including three municipalities and parts of two counties. While many changes have occurred during our history, one important moment was the school unification process that occurred in 1964, which created Unified School District #230 to serve our students in kindergarten through 12 grade. With around 3,700 students and growing at nearly 5% annually, we have a reputation for providing excellent educational opportunities to its students and ensuring their needs come first.

Parents and community members are encouraged to become involved with district schools and programs, and are integral to the district’s ability to provide ongoing educational success in a caring learning environment. This partnership with families and patrons ensures that district students have access to quality schools, which are the foundation of a strong community. In addition to their academic opportunities, students may participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities and community service projects.

As the district moves forward, our schools and communities will continue to share a proud heritage as well as a progressive attitude toward education for all children. Everyone in the district is committed to continuous improvement. With support from parents and the community, work continues each day by dedicated staff members to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s opportunities. Ultimately, success is realized, as students become life-long learners and productive members of the global society.
