Families, Students & Community Members, As we gear up for the highly anticipated Bank of Springfield 2025 City Tournament , I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome on behalf of Springfield Public Schools District 186. Over the next four days, we will come together to celebrate not only the remarkable athleticism of our student-athletes but also the incredible musical, cheer, and dance performances, community and school spirit, and unwavering school pride that define this event. The Bank of Springfield Center once again serves as the proud home of this beloved tradition, steeped in rich history and unforgettable memories. For many of us, City Tournament moments have become cherished stories and we look forward to creating even more positive memories this year. I want to express heartfelt gratitude to everyone working tirelessly behind the scenes—our administrators, athletic directors, coaches, volunteers, and countless others—who make this event possible. We extend our deepest gratitude to our community sponsors who help make this event happen. Your contributions help create a memorable experience for all. I also want to thank our media partners for sharing the excitement and ensuring our community stays connected. As we revel in the energy and thrill of the competition, let us exemplify good sportsmanship and embrace values of respect, integrity, and fair play. Each of you contributes to the vibrant atmosphere of this tournament, and we encourage everyone to cheer with positivity and support every participant as we remain in the designated seating areas. Best of luck to our student participants and athletes! Your dedication and perseverance have brought you here, and we can’t wait to see the talent, sportsmanship, and teamwork you bring to the court. Let the games begin!
Warm regards, Superintendent Jennifer Gill
