Porcupine Nation, you know what to do! Pull out that ORANGE & BLACK and wear it proudly tomorrow!
Every Friday, we come together across Springtown ISD to show our POJO Pride and remind everyone that there is just something special about being a Porcupine!
Show your POJO Pride and wear orange and black EVERY FRIDAY! #PorcupineFamily #POJOMagic

We are proud to recognize the incredible leaders who serve our students, staff, and families across Springtown ISD each and every day.
Our principals wear MANY hats. They lead campuses, support teachers, encourage students, solve problems, celebrate successes, handle the hard days, and do so much behind the scenes to keep our schools moving forward.
We are incredibly grateful for this group and the leadership, dedication, and heart they bring to Springtown ISD. 🧡
Throughout October, help us celebrate our campus leaders and thank them for everything they do to make a difference for our Porcupines!
Happy National Principals Month! #PorcupineFamily #POJOMagic
