The Sparta Express

Wade Swain was an incredible member of our Spartan community for 4 years. He was a member of the class of 2024 as an IB graduate. He was passionate about his education as a stellar student. He also loved baseball, his team, and working on their field more than anything else in the world. In the coming days we will be sharing ways that you can help his friends and family honor his legacy. LL21. Forever in our hearts.

One of the ways that we have tried to make this year special for our students is to bring back traditional aspects of high school. A Varsity Letterman's Jacket is one of those special things that make high school special. Whether you are a Varsity football player, a member of the marching band, Varsity Basketball player, or Varsity Cheer or Stunt member--- a letterman's jacket is something that you can have forever. Visit the Josten's website to design and purchase a coat that tells your high school story. You can even make payments!
