Ms. Diana Penning
I'm thrilled to have been a Spring Hill Stallion since we opened the school. The 2018-19 year is my 15th year teaching high school and my 6th year at SHHS; previously I served as a high school teacher in Richland One, and prior to that I enjoyed a 15-year career in various capacities in the Information Technology field. I have instructed college courses part-time since 2002 as well. In my spare time at SHHS, I have the great joy of co-advising the large and active Multimedia Gaming Club.
