A Message From The Superintendent
Our “WHY”
Mission: Providing every student with a future ready education
Vision: Preparing every student to achieve their passion and purpose
Dear School Community,
September has been a successful month in Spring Hill ISD! Our students and staff have shown remarkable dedication, making strong progress in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities. It is inspiring to see our students learning, growing, and supporting one another.
I also want to keep our community informed about the upcoming VATRE and Bond Election this November. These elections, called by our Board of Trustees, support the District’s financial stability and help provide safe, modern learning environments for our students.
For more information, please visit our VATRE/Bond Information Webpage on the District website, linked here. This webpage is a living document and will be regularly updated with additional information over the coming weeks. We encourage everyone to stay informed and engaged as Election Day approaches.
We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve our outstanding school community, and we look forward to a year filled with growth and achievement for all!
Sincerely,
Penny Fleet
Always Panther Proud!
Spring Hill ISD is asking voters to consider two ballot items in the upcoming election:
A Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) for district operations.
A Bond Proposal for facility maintenance and improvements.
Both measures are designed to address current and future needs of students, staff, and the community.
VATRE INFORMATION - PROPOSITION A
With the Voter-Approval Tax Ratification Election (VATRE), voters will be asked to consider a three-cent increase to the Maintenance and Operations (M&O) tax rate that would generate approximately $304,000 in funding for school district operations. This includes teacher and staff compensation, instructional materials, student support services, and extracurricular activities.
BOND INFORMATION - PROPOSITIONS B, C, D
The bond package consists of three separate propositions designed to address educational and extracurricular facility maintenance needs.
Proposition B - Cost: $17,222,744
Renovations to the Junior High School
HVAC system replacements
Replacement of buses
Updates to the baseball/softball complex - turf replacement as warranted by safety protocols
Proposition C - Cost: $1,975,000
Updates to Panther Stadium - turf replacement as warranted by safety protocols, lighting upgrades
Proposition D - Cost: $802,256
Improvements to the tennis complex - restroom facility upgrades
The bond package is designed to address these important facility maintenance needs without increasing the district’s current Interest & Sinking (I&S) tax rate.
Spring Hill ISD residents had the opportunity to learn about the upcoming Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) for district operations and Bond Proposal for facility maintenance and improvements at a Town Hall Meeting and Q&A on September 22.

Spring Hill Homecoming, held September 12, was filled with activities to celebrate school pride including a spirited pep rally, Homecoming Court presentation with Savannah Irwin crowned as Homecoming Queen, and a great Panther Football game!
Start With Hello Week
Spring Hill campuses participated in National Start With Hello Week. Start With Hello Week encourages students to make a difference with their peers through small but powerful actions that promote a connected community of learners so that no one ever feels alone.
Some of the activities included wearing green as a reminder to go out and help make other students feel special, decorating name tags, tipping your hat to kindness, and smiling to say hello.
Spring Hill Primary Recognizes Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a global campaign to raise awareness about childhood cancer, support research, and advocate for the needs of children and families affected by this disease.
Spring Hill campuses encouraged students to wear gold or yellow in support of this cause on Monday, September 22. In addition, Spring Hill Primary created a hallway display to show support for those affected by Childhood Cancer, and to help spread the word for greater awareness.
Students Participate In See You At The Pole Event
On Wednesday, September 24, students met before school at their campus as part of See You at the Pole. See You at the Pole is a nationwide, student-led opportunity for students to gather and pray for the school, students, teachers, and nation.
