High School Profile
About the High School Profile
The High School Profile is an important document that tells the story of Springfield Township High School in ways a transcript alone cannot. While a transcript lists courses and grades, the profile explains the bigger picture by highlighting our curriculum, grading practices, course offerings, student opportunities, and school community.
The primary purpose of the profile is to support college admissions. Admissions officers review applications from students across the country and the world, each coming from schools with different grading systems, course options, and levels of rigor. The profile provides essential context, helping colleges understand what a transcript from Springfield Township High School represents. It allows them to fairly evaluate each student’s academic record, recognize the opportunities our students have pursued, and understand the achievements in the context of our school environment. In short, the profile ensures our students’ accomplishments are seen clearly and equitably.
The profile also serves another purpose: it offers a window into our high school for anyone who wants to learn more about what we offer. Families exploring high school options, whether comparing public and private schools or preparing for the transition from middle school, can use the profile to get a strong sense of our academic program, learning opportunities, and school culture. While it does not capture everything about daily life at Springfield Township High School, the profile provides valuable context to understand who we are and what makes our school a vibrant place to learn and grow.
