Dancing with our Stars

Ten acres of land, located adjacent to Springfield Catholic High School, was purchased in 2007 which allows endless possibilities for growth and enhancement to our schools. Dancing with OUR Stars is an event planned to raise money to help pay down the outstanding balance on the 2007 acquisition. The event consists of five teams composed of a professional dancer paired with a member of our Catholic Community. After the dance competition, the floor will be opened to everyone with B Sharp Entertainment playing music until 11:00pm.

Dress is "dressy casual" and you must be 21 to attend.

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.
