The School District of Springfield Township in Montgomery County, PA borders Philadelphia and is incredibly accessible to surrounding areas by just a short drive. A cornerstone of our district is providing the best free and public education to the students in Springfield Township. However, we understand that to do this effectively we need to value and respect the employees who are completing this work. We continually work to provide an inclusive environment for all students and staff.
