Mission Statement

This vision drives our mission statement, "Building Together the Foundation of Our Future."  Our mission statement is seen and heard all around our school.  Students who broadcast morning announcements routinely finish with ...and our mission is, "Building Together the Foundation of Our Future.  Have a great Day Colts!"

We operationalize our mission statement to mean that we have future-oriented goals (1-8 above) for ourselves and for our students.  All of our efforts must be pooled and directed toward ensuring that students reach those goals.  The blueprint that brings alive our mission is our school improvement plan.  This annually-revised document details a five-year improvement cycle designed to direct and evaluate our work. 

Spring Hill Elementary is a mission-directed and goals-focused school.
