More than 40 students in the Construction Trades course spent the course of the school year learning through real-world, hands-on experience to build a single-family, two-bedroom and two-bathroom house. The students' work is complete and the house is ready to move into the community to become a home.
Panther Pride
There are so many reasons to be #SLPPantherProud!
Congratulations to our staff members who were honored and recognized at the May 16 retirement event. As a learning community, we gather to recognize their tremendous contributions to our schools and community.
Sweets to start the day. Sidewalk chalk tributes. Thank you cards. Coffee. Lunch. Snacks. Smiles and hugs. These are just a few of the ways our SLP staff were celebrated during staff appreciation week.
It's time to shine a light on members of the Class of 2023. 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.
Spring Lake Park High School is proud to announce senior Grace Brandt as their winner for the 2023 Athena Award for her outstanding athletic achievements! Grace is an accomplished athlete in gymnastics and track and field where she has won numerous conference, section and state awards.
