After ten long years of waiting, the class finally became a reality at Sparta High School three years ago. Congratulations on being part of the first group of students to go through the already newly designed course. This blog will be used to keep both students and parents up to date on the happenings of this great class. I suggest you use the follow by email feature on the upper right side of the screen and/or follow the class on facebook or follow me on twitter.
