that aren’t from their native culture,” he said. “It helps
to creates a whole different dynamic.”
McCown said he is also impressed by the influx of
international students playing sports at Springwood.
He said there are six international students on the foot-
ball team, three playing basketball, several boys and
girls playing soccer and more participating in track
and field.
“They don’t come here to get involved with athletics,
but they do get involved,” McCown said.
Additionally, the influx of international students also
serves a sustainability method for Springwood to stay
solvent.
“When you look at the demographics in the Valley,
there are only so many people who can afford to send
their kids here,” McCown said. “So, from the sustain-
ability of the school, that really enhances our opportu-
nities to continue to grow the enrollment, which obvi-
ously helps to keep us in a better financial situation.”
Hixon said the recruiting efforts are continuing,
and the international house will be a big part of those
efforts.
“We are developing a pipeline that will give us sus-
tainability,” she said.
