I feel like I was truly cared for at Sparta High School. I had bad experiences and bad teachers - but the good outweighed the bad by a million. When I went through some of the hardest times in my life, my teachers were the most understanding and supportive forces I've ever seen. They helped me more than anyone else. The worst part of my experience was probably sophomore year doing school online, but that wasn't great for most. Overall, I'm thankful I got to experience high school at Sparta High.

There is a large variety of classes to take throughout your high school years. The staff at Sparta High are all very welcoming and loving towards all students. We take school pride very seriously and it's a wonderful place to be. There are many different clubs and activities to do for just about every regular hobby around, including some unique ones. At Sarta High, there's a place for someone somewhere.
