Sparks High School really stands for bleeding maroon and gold. It’s a school where all the staff and especially the admin take the time to get to know there students not just in there schoolwork, but personal lives. It’s a very supportive school to there students and sports ! We got the best soccer team in the state, the best leadership team in the state, the best cheerleading team in the state, the best assistant principal in the state and not to mention the best principal in the state. (Everyone of those have been recognized as is). One thing I would like to see happen is changes in our fields and a bigger weight room to prepare everyone for there sports but not only that for whoever is going to move on into college to play. I would like to see more hands on tech at school in certain classes also. Other than that my 4 year experience at sparks was unforgettable!
I've attended Sparks High School all four years, there are many greta things about the school. For one there are many teachers always there to hep you whether you're in their class or not. Many students stay in contact with teachers, and when a teacher leaves it affects some students who were close with said teacher. I've always been given the help I needed all four years and I know there will always be a teacher/administrator there to help.
The teachers definitely care about their students and are open to helping them as best as they can. Leadership does it’s best to make the environment cheerful and welcoming. Students respect each other and peers. Diverse school with majority Hispanic students and many cultures and identities. Some sports clubs lack but they’re is many to choose from. The electives they offer are great and help build and develop teamwork skills and skills needed outside of school too.
