Springfield High School

Springfield Middle School

Adjacent to Holland Elementary School are the 58 classrooms, gymnasium, and "café-nasium" that comprise Springfield Middle School. Once a "junior high school", Springfield Middle School is now configured with teacher teams called "houses" or "teams" that provide students in grade 6–8 with an organizational structure anchored by an interdisciplinary team approach to instruction. Core subject matter in taught within a smaller-sized per group of approximately 100 students per house. The principal at Springfield Middle School is Jeff Pendry, who supervises a staff of 98.

In 1988, SJHS was expanded and connected to Holland Elementary. In the early 1990s with enrollment increasing and nowhere to expand current buildings, it was decided to split Holland Elementary into two schools and make SJHS a middle school. Since Holland was losing half of its enrollment and one whole grade, SJHS took over a portion of the school. The 1994–1995 school year was the first year the junior high included grade 6 and officially became Springfield Middle School.

Like SHS, the middle school's colors are blue and white and the mascot is the Blue Devil. While a junior high, it ran like a high school until 1991. In 1991 the school slowly started to run more like a middle school with teachers teaching in teams.

Elementary schools

SLS currently operates four elementary schools: Crissey, Dorr, Holland and Holloway. Crissey, Dorr and Holland all housed grades K-8 until 1967 and grades K-6 until 1994. They now house grade K-5. Holloway was built to split Holland (which had an enrollment of 1000+ in 1992, while Crissey and Dorr had about 500) in 1993. Due to levy issues, it did not open until the 1994–1995 school year. It was built to house grades K-5.

In 1942, Crissey Elementary School was a three-classroom schoolhouse. Additions and renovations to Crissey through the years have increased classroom space to accommodate the growing number of students in attendance. Oatis Amick serves as principal and oversees a staff of 44 and 450 students.

In 1900, Dorr Street School was opened and they nicknamed it "rabbit center" because of the rural location and its propensity to wildlife. In 1942, Dorr Street had four teachers and a teaching principal. Through the years Dorr Street has also seen many changes. Currently, Dorr Elementary School has 470 students, 31 classrooms and a staff of 44. The principal at Dorr Elementary School is Cheri Copeland-Shull.

Holland Elementary was originally built in the 1920s. As with all of the other elementary schools, Holland too needed to grow. So through the years, additional classroom space has been added. Following the previously mentioned renovations between 2005 and 2007, Holland has 33 classrooms, 550 students and a staff of 48 as of 2014–15. Hilary Steinmiller was named principal in 2014.

In 1992, Springfield Township again supported its school system and voted a bond issue to fund a new elementary school. In 1994, Holloway Elementary School opened for the 1994–95 school year. Holloway is located on Pilliod Road and currently educates 461 students in 28 classrooms. The principal at Holloway Elementary School is Robb Brown, who supervises a staff of 46.
