My Project

Our students at Spanish Springs are kind, generous, and always willing to learn new things.

Our faculty and staff are working to help our students empower themselves, develop skills to reduce our student's, and be inspired.

We also have a unique preschool program in which our high school students teach the program so we are always looking for great new books about kindness, friendship, and regulating emotions. It is my hope, with these books, our students and teachers can benefit from great books so our cougar family can live their best life!
