Sparta High School Honors Our Veterans

Press release from Sparta Township:

November 11, 2020

It has been our tradition to celebrate this very special day here at Sparta High School. However, this year, we had to alter the celebration. This has become an amazing project- We were able to create this memento in collaboration with the SHS student council, Mrs. Lopez and the extremely talented choir students, and Ms. Paige Lucas.

“On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.”
—Dan Lipinski

We would like to recognize the Veterans on Staff at Sparta High School for their contributions to their school, their community, and their country.

Thank you for your service Bill Brennan, Jerry Carter, Eric Hood, and Tony Lombardo.

And thank you to our friends at the Sparta VFW, the Foy Family, the Rogoff Family, and Mr. DeLuccia for also sharing their stories.

Please enjoy the videos (we broke them down into smaller parts for easier and more digestible viewing). Feel free to share these with students and community members. We hope that we will be able to celebrate this very important day together next year.
