ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY
Athletics are an integral part of the educational process of Sparta Area Schools. Therefore, it shall be referred to as a ‘co-curricular’ activity rather than an ‘extracurricular’ one. If our athletic program is to be successful, it must encourage individual physical fitness, develop a knowledge and appreciation of sports, teach athletic skills, and cultivate a competitive nature with good sportsmanship.

CORE VALUES
COMPETENCE - The necessary level of knowledge and skill to sufficiently train and compete.
CHARACTER - The pattern of beliefs, attitudes and therefore behavior that relates to moral strength, constitution, and essential qualities that embrace the positive values of Sparta High School and the Community.
