Why We're SLP Panther Proud

Seniors Chloe Sroga and William Privratsky were nominated for the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Academics, Arts and Athletics Triple “A” award.

From new apps to new products, students in the Business and Entrepreneurship Pathway pitched their ideas and business plans to local business leaders. Everyone won with real-world feedback, insights and learning.

The fall was a busy time for athletics and activities to ramp back up. With 14 girls’ sports, 14 boys’ sports and 40 student-based interest clubs and co-curricular activities, there were many great highlights. Everywhere Panthers went, they made us proud.

Marilynn Forsberg, Spring Lake Park Schools school board member since 1982, has been recognized by Minnesota School Board Association for her commitment to school board service and education.

With 1,200 student submissions and 217 submissions, the first Panther Pride Sweepstakes was a success. The event allowed the community to engage with the Panther Foundation, learn about the district and provide funds for the schools. 

Congratulations to junior Rachel Keenan for winning first place for her acrylic painting titled “Letting Go” in the 2021 MN-05 Congressional Art Competition.

Lori Henry, Spring Lake Park High School teacher of Family & Consumer Sciences has been named the American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences 2021 Teacher of the Year. The national award recognizes her work to help students develop real-world skills on their path to career and life success.

This school year has been like no other. As the year begins to wind down, we’re taking time to reflect on accomplishments as we plan for what’s next. Turns out, we have a lot to be proud of in this year of pandemic learning.
