Winter provided another season of highlights, successes and triumphs for Panther athletics and activities. With seven winter girls’ sports, seven winter boys’ sports and more than 45 student-based interest clubs and co-curricular activities at Spring Lake Park High School, our Panthers made us proud.

The Panther Foundation’s annual Week of Giving and Panther Party raised $159,000 and counting to support activities and programs benefiting the students of Spring Lake Park Schools.

It has been an exciting and action-packed couple of weeks for Spring Lake Park High School students who are involved a variety of activities through DECA. The co-curricular activity prepares students for careers in business and leadership through competitive events, workshops, community service, fundraisers and more.

When students send their first professional email to a mentor - someone working in a real, local business - they don’t know what to expect in return. When they get insights on marketing, education, product development, trends, advertising and more, the world of business is opened.

Teachers of reading have a heavy load of learning to complete this year aligned to state requirements in the READ Act. Spring Lake Park Schools has taken an approach designed to develop teacher leaders, build collaboration and result in immediate application to student learning experiences.
