2019 Trashion Show

The 2019 Trashion Show, sponsored by the Leonard Gardner chapter of the National Honor Society, was a success! Through the Trashion Show, our goal was to raise awareness for how much we throw away as a society and encourage others to repurpose their “trash.” This year, we had a total of 25 designs entered into the show from 10 different clubs/organizations at Spring Valley, including our Air Force JROTC, Key Club, the Environmental Assistance Organization, the National Art Honor Society, and the Technology Student Association. Thanks to the hard work and contributions of our participants and the Spring Valley community, we were able to raise over $500 for Souper Bowl of Caring, an organization that encourages young people to fight hunger and poverty in their communities.

The outfits were judged based on workmanship, originality, and use of recycled materials. We would like to extend a big thank you to Dr. Lars Seiler, Mr. Cristian Ugro, and Mrs. Allison Bird for selecting our winners!

Spring Valley High School Named National Magnet School of Excellence

Spring Valley High School(Discovery and Explorations Magnet Programs) has been named a National Magnet School of Excellence by Magnet Schools of America, the national association for magnet and theme-based schools. 

The Discovery and Explorations magnet programs seek to provide our students with an innovative, academically challenging experience centered on rigorous mathematics and science education through unique, student-centered research and internship opportunities. Our educators strive to establish meaningful relationships with each student and family, set consistently high expectations for all learners, empower each student with the tools to reach his/her full potential, and continuously inspire exploration, discovery, and creativity in our students. Our vision is to develop a well-rounded scholar who has the ability to use scientific inquiry, mathematical tools, and twenty-first-century technology skills to succeed and solve problems in our rapidly changing world. Discovery and Explorations challenge students to embrace diversity and become culturally responsible, caring citizens in the global community.

Mr. Jeff Temoney and Dr. Michelle Wyatt will be recognized and receive a National Magnet School of Excellence Merit Award on behalf of the school during an awards ceremony held at Magnet Schools of America’s 37th National Conference hosted by Baltimore County Public Schools in Baltimore, Maryland April 10-13, 2019. 

Magnet School of Excellence Awards are only given to a select group of magnet schools. Schools of Excellence are eligible to receive monetary awards and are eligible to be named the nation’s top Elementary, Secondary, or New & Emerging Magnet School. One of the Schools of Excellence will also be selected to win $5,000 and the Dr. Ronald P. Simpson Distinguished Merit Award, which is considered the most prestigious magnet school award in the nation. 

To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme.
