Movement that Matters
When most of us think of childhood memories, they almost always include time spent at play with others, enjoying games and making an effort to master activities we loved. And while academics will remain at the center of school life, perhaps one of the most underrated experiences any child can have is access to intentional physical activities and functional fitness time. Find out how our elementary PE Teachers inspire students to pursue joy and movement that matters for a lifetime.
Class of 2025 sets new record with highest graduation rate in history
Springfield Public Schools has reached an historic milestone, posting the highest high school graduation rate in the District’s history. According to data released by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE), 76.9 percent of Springfield students in the Class of 2025 graduated on time during the 2024–2025 school year, surpassing last year’s rate of 74.2 percent. The nearly three-point increase represents a significant improvement in student outcomes across the district and the steady rise in graduation rates over the past 15 years.
Golden Continues to Represent District Across State and Beyond
The past few months have been a whirlwind for Community Transition Program Teacher, Sally Golden. Golden has both served as inspiration and been inspired as she continues to represent Springfield and Oregon as the state Teacher of the Year. The highlight of Golden’s summer came when she and 47 other state teachers of the year went to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama in mid-July. She did everything from building a rocket and jumping on the moon to doing a parachute water landing to meeting with astronauts.
