Panthers for a Purpose Week of Giving is here! In a season when many in our community are carrying a lot, this week reminds us of the power of coming together with compassion, pride, and purpose. It’s about more than fundraising — it’s about connection, generosity, and the strength we find when our Panther community stands side by side. We invite everyone to get involved — participate in our spirit days, join a dine-to-donate event, support our fundraising efforts, and take part in the many activities planned throughout the week.
Together, we are stronger, and together, we make a difference.

Career and College Pathways
Over the last eight years, Spring Lake Park High School's Career and College Pathways have grown to 37 courses across three high-demand job sectors: Technology, Engineering & Design; Health & Human Services; and Business & Entrepreneurship. In the most recent graduating class, 92 percent of students had taken at least one pathway course.
The pathways are strong, and a project is underway to keep them that way. Pathways experiences are set apart by the fact that the courses deliver curriculum that is more hands-on with direct application. They also provide access to industry partners working in the field. Students build a house alongside electricians and plumbers. They design communication and marketing plans for real business problems. They teach young students and earn certifications as EMTs. This year's Fund A Dream will support Career and College Pathways enhancement and expansion ensuring alignment with evolving technology trends, technology advancements and workforce demands.

Together, we’ve invested more than $2.4 million in projects and initiatives that make a lasting difference for our students, staff, and families.
Every donation, volunteer hour, and show of support helps shape exceptional learning experiences for the 6,200 students who call Spring Lake Park Schools home. Join us in making this year’s Panthers for a Purpose one to remember!
