The Sparta Express

Last week was an AMAZING week in Sparta Nation! Each day there were plenty of ways for students to connect and make memorable experiences. It is my hope that core memories were created and that each member of our community will say that something they did during homecoming was a memory that they will hold on to forever. For me--- watching each of the floats full of cheering students with gigantic smiles will be something that I will hold on to each day as apart of my "why".

Be sure to check out alllllllll of our social media platforms to see some of our favorite photos from the week! I want to give a special shout out to everyone that made Homecoming so special. We are already planning for next year--- and so if you want to be apart of that process, feel free to let me know!
