Springfield High School is taking over Toast to Teachers!
Grab your friends, head to PublicHouse, and raise a glass to Springfield High School on Thursday, September 24. This month’s Toast to Teachers is all about supporting the students, educators, and programs at SHS, and there’s no better way to do it than with good food, good drinks, and a little Miller pride.
Here’s the best part: 50% of your purchase from participating vendors will be donated to Springfield High School when you show the event flyer.
Whether you’re a proud SHS alum, a current Miller family, a teacher or staff member, or simply someone who wants to support local students, come hang out with us for the evening. Grab dinner, enjoy a drink, and know that your night out is helping Springfield High School students and educators.
We’ll be gathering on the back lawn during the evening, so bring your people and come cheer on the Millers! Live music details coming soon

Individually, the musicians perform with groups throughout the region, including the Eugene Symphony, Eugene Symphonic Band, Shedd Institute Musicals, Blue Sky Jazz Band, and Platypus Clarinet Orchestra. They’re also experienced clarinet teachers, working with students of all levels, including at Maple Elementary School. What a wonderful addition to an evening celebrating our local educators!
