Our School
Spring Lake Park High School is home to nearly 2,000 students in grades 9-12. Each student is supported on their path to graduation and in creating a plan for what comes next. Through a full range of academic and extracurricular opportunities, panthers connect during and outside the school day.
Through a wide variety of opportunities and choices, student explore. Along the way, they discover their interests, strengths and needs as a learner. We are focused on designing student work that is authentic and applicable to students' lives and interests. Students take many paths to earning 12 college credits by the end of the 12th grade – from AP courses to embedded college courses. They also explore career paths through our Career and College Pathways offerings. More than 80 percent of students are involved in 30 athletic teams and more than 50 student interest-based clubs and activities.
At the high school, our Spring Lake Park Schools' approach to personalized learning comes to life as students take full ownership of their learning. There's flexibility - fully in-person, hybrid, online, co-created courses - to support students in their learning preferences. The goal for each graduate is that they leave high school aware of their strengths, interests and needs as a learner. We want them to be equipped to navigate anything they may encounter.
