The first school house in Springfield Township was a log cabin on the south side of Angola Road between McCord and Clark Street.
It was located where our current Holland Elementary now stands on Kittle Road and Madison Street.
With the help of the Manual Training Boys and several generous citizens, the gymnasium was built for entertainment and sport events.
On January 21, 1938, the community held a dedication ceremony for the most modern high school in Lucas County.
Touted as "the most modern building in Lucas County", the high school was complete with clocks in all classrooms, the latest in visual education and sound equipment, a cafeteria and cafeteria kitchen, a modern stage, the latest improved typewriters, the most modern and up-to-date heating and ventilating system, a separate library room, individual steel lockers, a girls' rest room, and chair storage.
This building still houses the current high school, but has also enjoyed many renovations and additions since 1968.
Springfield High School now has a field house, gymnasium, the Tombaugh Auditorium/theater that seats 800, a media center that holds 13,000 volumes, 68 classrooms and two computer labs.
The 1993 expansion included a new media center, 12 classrooms, a section where the school can be expanded to a second floor, and a new gym called the field house.
It is most noted for its outstanding drill team, which has received numerous awards, and attended several national competitions over the past several years.
