A Message From The Superintendent
Unity is strength. When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. ~ Mattie Stepanek
This simple quote is at the heart of who we are as a school district. The success of our students is not the work of one person or one group — it is the result of an entire community working together with a shared purpose. Our teachers and staff create engaging learning environments each day. Our families reinforce the importance of education at home. Our community partners provide opportunities and resources that expand what is possible. And our students inspire us all with their talents, resilience, and determination.
When we collaborate, support one another, and remain united in our commitment to excellence, we create schools where every student can thrive. Together, we celebrate achievements, tackle challenges, and continuously strive to improve.
Thank you for being an essential part of our school community. By working hand in hand, we ensure a bright future and continued success for all students across the district.
Sincerely,
Penny Fleet
Always Panther Proud!
Spring Hill Board of Trustees Announce May Bond Election
The Spring Hill ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved calling a bond election for facility maintenance and improvements totaling $20 million that will be presented to voters in three separate propositions this May.
“The proposed bond reflects Spring Hill ISD’s continued commitment to providing safe, high-quality learning environments for all students while maintaining responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources,” Superintendent Penny Fleet said. “While the November bond was not approved, the District’s maintenance and equipment needs remain essential. This bond proposal focuses on critical investments that cannot be supported through the general operating budget and are necessary to properly maintain our schools, classrooms, and facilities. These investments will help ensure our learning environments remain safe, functional, and supportive of student success—now and in the future.”
The bond proposal was created following in-depth research and preparation with a committee of district leadership and board members. The bond package consists of three separate propositions in accordance with state law. These propositions are designed to address educational and extracurricular facility needs.
Proposition A - $17,222,744
For the purposes of improving and equipping school facilities, including renovating the Junior High School and District-wide heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) replacements, the purchase of new school buses, and the purchase of vehicles to be used for emergency, safety, or security purposes.
Proposition B - $1,975,000
For the purposes of updating and equipping Panther Stadium, including turf replacement, lighting and track resurfacing.
Proposition C - $802,256
For the purposes of improving and equipping the tennis complex, including restrooms and related infrastructure.
The bond package is designed to address these important needs without increasing the district’s current Interest & Sinking (I&S) tax rate.
