To find the volume of a square prism using the formula \( V = s^2h \), we need to substitute the given values of \( s \) and \( h \).

Given:
- \( s = 4 \) cm
- \( h = 6 \) cm

Now, substitute into the formula:

\[
V = s^2h = (4)^2 \times 6
\]

Calculating \( (4)^2 \):

\[
(4)^2 = 16
\]

Now, multiply by the height \( h \):

\[
V = 16 \times 6 = 96
\]

Therefore, the volume of the square prism is \( 96 \) cubic centimeters.

The correct answer is **96 cubic centimeters**.
