There is a wealth of information that will assist students as they make their course selections for the 2020-2021 school year. There have been many changes to the Program of Studies so it is important that parents collaborate with their child on the selection of their courses. Springboro High School offers a variety of courses that are designed to challenge the students and we encourage them to reach their fullest potential in courses that are rigorous and relevant, as well as meet their educational goals. Our administrators, guidance counselors, and teachers are here to assist students with the important process of selecting courses and to answer any questions they may have. Please take time to thoroughly examine all the courses available, as courses chosen for the following year are final March 20, 2020. We look forward to supporting you through this essential process.
