As we move into the spring semester, it is great to look back at a few examples of outstanding student achievements from the fall. What an awesome illustration of our educational community teamwork which helps students grow and achieve excellence!

January is School Board Recognition Month. We at Spring Hill ISD are truly grateful to our trustees for their dedication and commitment to Spring Hill schools and students!

The theme of this year’s School Board Recognition Month is Leadership for Tomorrow’s Texas, which spotlights the essential role school board members play in guiding the future of education. School board members are the largest group of locally-elected officials in the state.

“Our board members are so important. Their dedication, vision, and commitment help to make our district a success,” Superintendent Penny Fleet said.

Board members serving Spring Hill ISD are John Borens, Kyle Stephens, Holly Kirl, Todd Beall, Ben Shelton, Ryan Small, and Wayne Noon.

Spring Hill ISD is partnering with STOPit Solutions, a nationally recognized leader in school safety and wellness. Through this partnership, our entire school community is provided with access to the STOPit anonymous reporting app – a powerful tool designed to deter and promptly address instances of bullying, school violence, self-harm, and inappropriate behaviors.

Key Features of the STOPit app:

• Anonymous Tip Submission: Users can anonymously submit tips to designated school personnel, ensuring confidentiality, and encouraging individuals to come forward with their concerns.
• Photo or Video Evidence: The app allows for the submission of photo or video evidence to provide additional context or proof of the incident.
• Two-Way Anonymous Communication: The app enables users to message anonymously with school personnel until the incident is resolved.
• 24/7 Crisis Counseling: Recognizing the importance of immediate support, the app connects users in distress with trained crisis counselors. Users can text with a counselor (day or night) until they feel safe and calm.

The STOPit app is available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
