Water Testing Results

The Ohio EPA's Division of Safe Drinking Water regulates the water distribution systems within our school district. Under new regulations, we must notify the public of our recent lead sampling.

All of our buildings have been sampled and have not exceeded any action level. Being deemed safe, we must still notify consumers with this notice.

Consumer Notice Results are available in the main office, our building website and at the sample locations.

For more information, visit US EPA's web site at www.epa.gov/lead

21st Century....

Well, this is the inception of the Spring Hill Spotlight Blog. The purpose of this blog is to establish a line of communicate from the school to the home. I am the principal, Michelle Warner. As you may know, our school was the recipient of a technology grant. As our focus sharpens in the area of integrating technology, I am attempting to broaden my digital awareness by starting this blog. I ask you to be patient with me while I am learning. I hope you follow this blog and enjoy the spotlight I desire to shine on our school and students.
