Welcome to Springfield High School, home of the Blue Devils! We are proud to report that Springfield High School achieved the rating of EXCELLENT and met 12 of 12 indicators from the Ohio Department of Education and attained a Performance Index score of 103.9!

SHS is a public comprehensive high school with rigorous academic programs for students in grades 9-12. Almost 100 faculty and support staff are dedicated to both SHS traditions and to ensuring that each of the approximately 1200 students attain their educational goals.  Students follow a trimester schedule designed to further enhance the academic environment with even more class time for a variety of learning experiences, more teacher/student interaction time, greater opportunities for problem-solving and group activities. SHS offers enrichment through Honors, Advanced Placement, and Post-Secondary Options* classes. In addition, SHS students may also choose to enroll in one of 28 two-year vocational programs are offered through Penta Career Center. Opportunities for community service, leadership development and character building are interwoven into SHS academic and extracurricular programs.

Springfield High School was the first public school in the state of Ohio to receive a prestigious Youth Jefferson Award for Public Service. In 2012, the commitment of students to serving others again earned them the honor to represent the Toledo Region at the national Jefferson Awards 40th Anniversary celebration!

Unique offerings such as the nationally respected JROTC, Science Olympiad, and foreign language classes help prepare students for success in our global society.  Springfield High School's Blue Devils are rich in tradition - and we want to encourage all community members to become "true blue!"

ACADEMIC HONORS BANQUET
Organizers from the Springfield High School Academic Boosters chose a wonderful quote from  Thomas Carlyle, "Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment" for the cover of the program prepared for their May 6th,  "Academic Honors Banquet."  Each year, the Boosters work so hard to create a special event for our scholars and their families - and we congratulate them, and each of the students who have earned/maintained a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5, for another outstanding event.

Special guest speaker, Dr. Mark Hankin from The University of Toledo Medical Center, shared his special insights.  Dr. Hankin is an anatomy professor and has worked with several of our students thanks in part to a grant received which allows SHS students to spend days in the medical school's anatomy laboratory conducting experiments alongside UTMC personnel.  "There are few greater honors than to have an opportunity to look inside the human body," he shared with the audience of students, family members, teachers, administrators, and members of the Board of Education.  For many of the students, and for Dr. Hankin himself, participation in programs like this often solidify career choices.  We apprecite his attendance at the event and his insights.  No doubt that his attendance was appreciated . . . he was stopped several times along the way by students and parents alike wishing to express their appreciation as he made his way to the exit.

Thank you to the Academic Boosters, especially Mrs. Amy Sanders, for their hard work.  To view a complete list of all scholars, please contact the SHS main office. 

Background on the Youth Jefferson Award:
In 2009, Toledo was the fifth community in the nation selected to pilot a program to introduce the Youth Jefferson Awards for high school students.  In 2010, our program was chosen to represent the Greater Toledo Region in Washington, DC, as one of the top programs in the nation and we learned last month that a panel of esteemed local judges again honored SHS as the Greater Toledo Region's top program. SHS will represent the Region at the 40th Jefferson Awards national ceremonies in Washington, DC in June, 2012! Data confirm that there has been a 69% increase in service during the 2011-2012 school year with the students accumulating 13,450 hours.  No question that they earned the right to represent the Toledo Region at the national Jefferson Awards program in June, 2012 in Washington, DC!!!
