Spring High School

Spring High School is dedicated to excellence in education by committing to intentional and strategic instructional delivery that impacts achievement through student, faculty, staff and community cooperation.

Spring HS is currently an International Baccalaureate (IB) Candidate School for the MYP Programme and will be pursuing authorization as an IB World School. “These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Spring High School believes is important for our students. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org.” We are convinced that this programming gives our students a “broad, balanced, conceptual and connected curriculum,” thereby “providing an education that crosses disciplinary, cultural, national and geographical boundaries and champions critical engagement, stimulating ideas and meaningful relationships” (ibo.org). IB students receive an internationally recognized, rigorous and accredited education.

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) framework is offered through the Spring ISD School Choice application and lottery process for rising 9th grade scholars for the 25-26 school year. Spring HS will also continue to serve its zoned high school scholars.
