With four spring girls' sports, five spring boys' sports and 46 student-based interest clubs and co-curricular activities at Spring Lake Park High School, our students found opportunities to connect and compete. Exploring common interests and passions outside the classroom helps students discover themselves and prepare for their next steps.
Panther Pride
There are so many reasons to be #SLPPantherProud!
Despite years of pandemic living, SLP Schools have continued to advance work aligned to the district’s vision and strategic plan. This year’s district operational plan included intentional work to engage and support learners emerging from the pandemic, strengthen connections in our community and capitalize on the creativity of staff. Now, it’s time to reflect on the progress.
Congratulations to the 13 staff members who were honored and recognized at the May 17 retirement event. As a learning community, we gather to recognize their tremendous contributions to our schools and community.
Spring Lake Park High School is excited to announce Oliver Major as the new head boys’ basketball coach.
It's time to shine a light on members of the Class of 2022. These students have been an invaluable part of our Panther community and we're cheering them on as they pursue further education, a career or trade, take a role with the military or do something else altogether.
