Guiding Principles





We see room for improvement.
We are not distracted by the past.
We are focused on a vision of the future.
We are willing to work and contribute.
We are motivated by the joy of success and a job well
done.
Vision
The shared vision of Spring Hill Elementary is to foster
continuous improvement within a high-performing
learning environment that honors collaborative
learning amongst all students, parents, teachers,
faculty and stakeholders. Through this process,
students will be afforded challenging opportunities to
meet their full academic potential.
Mission
The mission of Spring Hill Elementary is to empower
and prepare our students in a highly functional
learning environment. Students will be able to make
sound informed decisions, compete globally with
superb technological skills and develop character, selfassurance and become critical thinkers.
Philosophy Statement
Our philosophy is simple,“ All Children can learn.” Our
belief system does not stop there. Not only can all children
learn, but all teachers teach. We do not deny the variety
that exists among our students, therefore we acknowledge
that our teachers come with a variety of experiences that
give our students a perspective that they may not have ever
had access to prior to attending our school. It is because
we are all different that we are also great. Being unique
opens the possibilities that the products that we bring also
share a quality of uniqueness that will also make students
great future leaders.
