We Love Ms. Lucas!

By: Liv Canova and Emma McNamara

 If you've taken part in any Sparta High School event, or any Sparta event really, you've probably met Paige Lucas. She is not only involved in everything she can be in this town, but she gives so much to the community behind the scenes. Ms. Lucas can be found fixing chromebooks in the MRC, choreographing the Spring Musical, running events with the Sparta Education Foundation, taking part in Pass it Along, teaching at Elisa Girlando Studios, Co-directing the middle school's show, and so much more. This Sparta Alumna has shown her love for this school and this town by giving back every day.

“Since I met her and started performing, [she] has been my number one supporter” - Jenna Halkyard (junior)

“She gives the best advice and she’s really easy to talk to” - Natalie Demuth (freshman)

“Without her I would never be able to get up on a stage and do all these crazy silly things” - Tessa Gori (senior)

“I don’t know what I’d do without Ms. Lucas. She’s one of the most hard-working, kind, inventive and inspirational people I know. Whether it’s the school musical or the annual Turkey Trot, [she] is always happy to help people all over Sparta.” - Scott Riley (senior)
