STEAM Learning
STEAM learning takes place at all grade levels inside Springfield Public Schools (SPS); from learning how to use a microscope and understanding basic biology, to building custom robots and analyzing the biodiversity of our local forests. All SPS students have access to different learning opportunities that highlight our district’s commitment to meeting Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
High schools earn valued accreditation, recognition for inclusive practices
Three Springfield Public Schools (SPS) schools are setting new standards of excellence as they showcase their commitment to high-quality education and student engagement. Gateways, Springfield, and Thurston high schools all earned the prestigious Cognia Accreditation, a highly regarded accreditation that is recognized throughout the world. For a school to receive Cognia Accreditation, schools must undergo a rigorous process of self-assessment and third-party evaluation by experts.
High school students share experiences, help shape future of district
High school students from across the district are coming together to share their experiences, discuss challenges, and propose solutions to improve their educational environment as part of an inspiring initiative. The SPS High School Student Voice Project, which restarted in April 2024 following a lengthy pause, places significant responsibility and leadership in the hands of students, giving them a platform to influence district decisions, the students in turn identify problems and explore practical solutions.
