Welcome to Forensic Science at Sparta High School

After ten long years, the class is finally a reality at Sparta High School. Congratulations on being part of the first group of students to go through the 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.
