The Springboro Community City School District serves the city of Springboro and parts of Franklin, Clearcreek, Turtlecreek, and Miami (Montgomery County) townships.

Springboro High School is the only public high school in the suburb of Springboro and the only high school in the Springboro Community City School District. The school has been ranked academically "excellent" on a consistent basis, the highest possible rating by the state of Ohio Department of Education. SHS was established in 1893. In the 2011-12 school year SHS was honored as the top public high school in the Great Lakes region and was recognized as part of the United States Department of Education's National Blue Ribbon Schools Program.^[2]

Athletics

Springboro High School athletic teams are known as the Panthers, while the school colors are white and royal blue. The athletic program was a charter member of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference from 1964, when it joined as Clearcreek High School, until 1998.^[3] After many years of winning the All-Sports Trophy in the former Mid-Miami League, Springboro left for the Greater Western Ohio Conference, keeping rivalries with Lebanon High School and Miamisburg High School

Springboro Community Schools have a naming rights deal with Miami Valley Hospital, giving them naming rights to the school's football and track stadium, which is named CareFlight Field for the hospital's "CareFlight" helicopter. This deal also provided CareFlight Field with turf surfacing, a new track, and a three-story building which houses doctors' offices and athletic facilities, along with an adjoining press box. It was completed in 2009.
