Participating in the many activities in school provided me with the opportunity to meet other students who shared my interests. The activities/clubs I participated in provided me with leadership skills, allowed for community partnerships, and provided an opportunity to build lifelong friendships. I am so thankful for the opportunities I was given in the varied organizations, sports, and clubs. Being an active member as SGA President and Leo Club President allowed for so many amazing endeavors. The memories that I made over the years will forever be cherished", said 2023 Springwood Graduate Carson Champion.   See your pictures in the Lanett section of this week's Chambers Ledger.

The bond I have made with students, teachers, coaches, and administration will forever be an asset to me. I am so very proud that I have two older brothers that are Springwood Alumni and that my family believes in Springwood. Springwood has been the center of my life for many years.
