We are proud of our Springfield, Ohio roots and value SHS's first-rate education, leadership standards, and service opportunities
we received, all of which launched us on our various paths through life. Five decades later we are what we are with one common
thread still connecting us...members of the SHS CLASS OF 1958. One great school then but in 1960, one became two...Springfield
High and Springfield North. Time changes everything and once again there will be one newly built Springfield High School opening
its doors this fall (2008.)It is located on the old Springfield North site; school colors are gold and blue; its mascot the
Wildcat.
Your Reunion Committee has researched the importance of a monetary "Class Gift" to celebrate our 50th and discovered
that the new SHS offers our class a "golden" opportunity...an opportunity to connect with future generations of
Springfield High School through a collaborative initiative of Springfield City Schools, Westcott House Foundation, Wittenberg
University, and Master Gardener Volunteers of Clark County.
At this time, a project is in the development phase with the above-named groups; the project is called The Springfield
High School Landscape and Gardens Curriculum Project. One outcome of the Project is the development and continuing maintenance
of landscaping and gardens for the new Springfield High School. Students and teachers and even community groups will be able
to use the landscaped courtyard setting in many academic areas. A concerted effort is being made to connect North/South students,
faculties, and yes, alumni from dear "old" Springfield High like US, to each other and to "new Springfield
High.
The Reunion Committee designated that funds collected for the Class Gift be donated entirely to the Springfield High School
Landscape and Gardens Curriculum Project with the understanding that the SHS Class of 1958 be credited for the gift. The Gift
will be used to enhance the Project; it could be a tree or a bench etc. depending upon how much money is raised. Celebrate
this important milestone in our lives by helping to connect the past to the future.
Thank you in advance for your gift,
The Class of '58 Reunion Committee
