Since 1952 the Springfield Lions Club has sponsored an Adult School at the Springfield High School. The first adult school had only a few courses: sewing, typing, woodworking, metalworking, art, bridge, practical mathematics, and public speaking. A total of 136 adults registered for the first classes. A Summer Camp Program for students from 1st through 12th grade is held at each of the public schools. A Fall Camp Program was begun in 1996 and includes classes for kindergarten children. The Springfield Lions Club is unique in that no other service club is connected with their local school district in sponsoring Adult School and Camp Programs. The Adult School now has 35 to 40 courses and an enrollment of over 600 students.
The Adult School provides numerous courses for adults, or anyone, interested in learning about special topics as computers, dancing, etc. Instructors are selected by the Springfield School District and the classes are given at either the High School on Leamy Ave. or the Middle School on Woodland Ave. To be offered at the Winter 2011 Session:
