New Press Box Needs Sponsors
One of the first things you’ll notice as you return to Springfield Catholic High School this fall is the new press box located at Swisshelm Field- Dr. Harvey Michael Track. In case you were not aware, the old press box was no longer useable due to deterioration in the floors and ceilings. The new press box is larger and completely maintenance free. In addition, new bracings were installed, a new sound system and reinforcements were made to the existing bleachers and fencing. Your Athletic Boosters committed $20,000 to the project, SCS budgeted another $20,000 and we are wanting you to help as we begin the process of raising the remaining $22,000 needed to complete payment for this project.
How do you help? Great question, the answer is simply advertise. Now the new press box and reinforced fencing has plenty of advertising space, and we would like nothing more than to fill it with OUR families businesses, or just family supporters. Here are the options. This is a great way to get your name out there and support our Fighting Irish. For more Information call 417-865-5567 or download the sign-up form.

Land Acquisition
Ten acres of land adjacent to the high school was purchased last year. The land was purchased to provide a buffer to the campus of the high school and to allow for future growth. Presently, there are no designated plans for the property. The land could be used for ball fields, parking, high school expansion, a middle school, an early learning center or some other unforeseen need. The future use of the land will be determined by future generations of Springfield Catholic families.
