Welcome to Sparta High School, Home of the Spartans!

Thank you for visiting our website. Sparta High School is the sole, comprehensive high school in Sparta Area Schools. Our mission is to provide high-quality educational opportunities for each of our 850 students, while ensuring each individual student’s success. Sparta High School opened a state-of-the-art facility in the fall of 2007, which provides an outstanding learning environment for students and staff. Sparta High School offers over 80 courses in English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, world languages, career internships, music, art, drama, and physical education. 

Sparta High School’s Advanced Placement (AP) program continues to grow. Currently, we offer AP courses in Biology, Environmental Science, US History, World History, Government, European History, Statistics, Calculus AB, Spanish Language and Culture, Literature, Language and Composition, and Psychology. Sparta High School also offers numerous honors sections within our four core content areas. In addition, Sparta High School partners with Grand Rapids Community College to offer Concurrent Enrollment courses in which students earn college credit for courses taken at Sparta High School. 

Sparta is proud of our commitment to our learners who are on the pathway to trade schools and careers. Every year we send well over 100 students to the Kent Career Technical Center, which also offers college credit.  In addition, we offer a well-articulated career internship program that serves an additional 50 to 60 students.

Sparta High School recognizes the important role that co-curricular involvement plays in the development of our students.  We proudly offer over 30 co-curricular programs, while competing in the Michigan Competitive Bands Association and the River Cities Alliance. 

Sparta High School staff is a dedicated, compassionate, and committed group of professionals that:

• Believe in the power of respectful relationships
