Nearly half of Spring Hill School District’s $60 million bond is committed under contract — including elementary school additions, roof replacements and HVAC repairs.

Construction on Spring Hill Elementary is the furthest along, though Marc Williams, executive director of operations, said Prairie Creek and Timber Sage elementary schools are still on track.

“[Spring Hill Elementary] looks really good from the road,” Williams said. “It looks even better when you go inside of it and start actually seeing the size of the classrooms.”

What the bond will pay for

The bond, which voters approved in May 2025, focuses on expanding learning spaces and making facility improvements. Projects include:

• classroom expansions at Spring Hill Elementary, Timber Sage Elementary and Prairie Creek Elementary,
• new roofs at Spring Hill Elementary and Spring Hill Middle School,
• HVAC improvements at Spring Hill Early Learning Academy, Spring Hill Elementary and Spring Hill Middle School,
• and the additions at Spring Hill High School, creating a commons area as well as Career and Technical Education (CTE) space.

All projects have completed their design phases, with the CTE work anticipated to start this summer and work on the commons expansion expected to start in summer 2027.

A project cost overview

As of Feb. 28, $4.8 million of the bond had been spent. The overall budget includes:

• $16 million for the elementary school expansions (the district estimates costs to be $11.9 million),
• $7 million for the new roofs (estimated to cost $6.4 million),
• $12 million for HVAC improvements (estimated to cost $10.1 million),
• and $25 million for the CTE and commons area expansions, which are still awaiting cost estimates.

Additionally, Williams said the district is working on improvements to the district’s bond transparency webpage.

“We will have a detailed budget on there for people to see where we are and make sure that we are responsible for the money,” Williams said.

The district’s last bond was in 2018 for $72 million, covering the cost to build an educational support center, Dayton Creek Elementary School and Forest Spring Middle School.
