Every year, Sparta High School's Student Council puts consideration into the holiday season. This year, the group donated funds to the American Red Cross and kept up with their annual tradition, Deck the Halls.
The goal of Deck the Halls is to get students to come together and plan a decorative theme for their respective hallway to make the halls of SHS merry and bright. Decorating the hallways after school is a withstanding, fun tradition - holiday music plays, pizza is ordered, lights are strung and the friendly competition to see whose decorating skills are the best is on! The senior grade has always gone above and beyond in their efforts the past four years of decorating - even staying in their hallway up until 10pm to finish. On one end of the hallway, a cozy fireplace setting is set up... and on the other end,

The rest of the grades decorate their hallway in a way that creates a change of scenery. The freshman class is known for their intricate, three-dimensional snowflakes that hang from the ceilings. The sophomore class can be credited for recycling - they used scrap paper and coffee filters to create snowflakes which they affix on the wall in the pattern of a snowman, along with wrapping old boxes before attaching them to the top of their lockers. The junior class strings lights and garlands across the ceilings in different patterns.
Student Council is comprised of student representatives who serve their school through communication with the administration, planning events that promote Spartan pride, and fundraising. Each grade elects four officers and other interested students serve on the board as an important asset to continue bringing different ideas and perspectives in.
