Welcome to Springfield High School, home of the Blue Devils! SHS is a public comprehensive high school with rigorous academic programs for students in grades 9-12. Over 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. Since Fall 2009, students now 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. 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 is rich in tradition - and we want to encourage all community members to become "true blue!"
The transformation of the SHS sports complex is visible throughout the community, with new baseball, softball, tennis and track facilities. The new training facilities, classrooms and bus loop were completed in mid-Summer 2009 and the community joined us last August for the dedication of Springfield Community Stadium, our new football/soccer stadium. The new facilities join the existing Field House, gymnasium, Hoover Wrestling Deck, and state-of-the-art Tombaugh Performing Arts Center, and an outstanding Media Center to compliment the already sophisticated high school campus.
* PSO allows qualified students to receive credit for college-level courses at no cost to the student or his/her family.
We are proud to report that Springfield High School students met 12 of 12 indicators on the 2009 Ohio Graduation Tests and attained a Performance Index score of 103!

Testimonial from An SHS Parent
"My son came to Springfield High School from another area district and I am thrilled with this school! I just couldn't believe it when I received a telephone call from one of his teachers to tell me how well he was doing in class - this one-on-one attention from teachers started from day one and is fabulous." Donna Bartlett
Principal's Weekly Message
On June 5th, we officially sent the 271 members of the Springfield High School Class of 2010 off to pursue their future goals. And let me tell you, those goals are impressive! This class showed leadership and integrity in dealing with tremendous adversity. In the process, our senior class accumulated almost $6 million in scholarship offers . . . our highest total scholarship offer ever (at least to date!)
This class provided us with a lot of reasons to brag - it included two National Merit Scholars in Alex Keyes (who received $198,140 to attend Stanford) and Kaitlyn Howells (who received $126,400 from Tulane University); Garrett Manley who accepted a $414,000 scholarship to attend the United States Air Force Academy, where he will also be a member of the wrestling team; and Brandon Worley, Lindsey Kitchen, David Swiergosz, and Jordan Annis, all of whom received over $100,000 in Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarships from Ohio and Kentucky universities. This class sent students across the nation to pursue their higher education from schools in California, Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky, and of course those located in across the state of Ohio. Because there just isn't space, I can't list the future plans for each student. I can, however, point out that the investment made by this community in each of our students is paying tremendous dividends. Thank you community, thank you staff and teachers, thank you parents, and thank you students for creating a positive ending to a challenging school year.
