High Springs Proclaims Constitution Week

HIGH SPRINGS ‒ The High Springs City Commission has formally recognized Sept. 17–23, 2025, as Constitution Week, joining a national observance that highlights the enduring importance of the United States Constitution.

Mayor Tristan Grunder issued the proclamation during the Sept. 8 commission meeting, noting that Sept. 17 marks the 238th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution by delegates of the Constitutional Convention in 1787.

The observance is supported by federal law. Public Law 915, passed by Congress in 1956, requires the President of the United States to issue a proclamation each year designating Sept. 17–23 as Constitution Week. Communities across the country participate by encouraging civic education and public awareness of the nation’s founding principles.

By issuing its proclamation, High Springs joins municipalities nationwide in emphasizing the relevance of the Constitution to modern life. The city’s proclamation encourages citizens to reflect on the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, including the freedoms of speech, press, religion and assembly, as well as the system of checks and balances designed to protect those rights.

While High Springs has not scheduled additional events, city leaders expressed hope that the proclamation itself will encourage residents to pause and consider the significance of the nation’s founding charter.
