Springfield High School Student Council members made a presentation to the Springfield Board of Education at the regular September board meeting. The students talked about the start of the 2022-23 school year and the unique challenges that they are facing as students at SHS this year. One of the main topics in their presentation was the challenge of taking classes without an in person teacher. This is a very real challenge in the face of significant statewide teacher shortages. The students spoke eloquently and honestly about the school year and their experiences. They exemplify what it takes to Be A LONGHORN! The student council is sponsored by Mrs. Renee Loflin.
Yesterday, the Longhorn Cross Country team traveled to Ulysses. The over 90 degree temperatures and long hills made for a challenge but the runners ran great and did an amazing job supporting each other. All six of the runners finished in the top 20! The team heads to Stanton County on Saturday.
