Springfield Local Schools

I spent grades K-​12 in this school system. My time at Young Elementary wasn’t so bad, though I did watch as two of our Elementary schools were closed. Attending Spring Hill JH wasn’t bad. It was unfortunate that two JHs were merged into one immensely overpopulated building. The «courtyard» is a bit of a joke. My time spent in high school was absolutely fantastic. I got to watch my school fall apart, bit by bit, as taxpayers refused to care about the students that depended on them. I doubt that much has changed. I watched as we had to drain our swimming pool because it was too expensive to keep it alive. The band department was nearly dropped. The football team almost had to buy their own gear. Our varsity basketball team suffered a six year losing streak.
We still salvage these two buildings to house our students, one constructed in the 1930s and the other in the early 1970s. All this, while watching the neighboring school districts thrive with growth and innovation. But, at least I had fun.
