I like fishing and that's remained me when am still with my parents we always go to camp and I learned a lot of things from my parents

Springfield High School is full of spirit. (We've won the spirit award for over 20 years back to back!) My experience so far has been great. The teachers and administrators are kind, creative, and fun. They love the school just as much as the students do.
6/14/2025
Springfield High School is not a bad or good school. The people aren't the best, but the teachers try and I appreciate it. Some of the staff aren't the best, but some aren't the worst. I made good friends, but some other students not really. The school was average for me but I don't see a problem with that. Overall it's one of the better school in 186.

I work full time go to school full time and a...
