Yesterday, Sparta HS had a school threat late in the day. They were closed for school there today while the police investigated. Police have since resolved the situation found no cause for further concern, and activities in Sparta did resume with after school activities. We are hosting Sparta basketball and hockey tonight. We want the public to know that there was never a threat to our students. Please come out and cheer the kids on. Go Blackhawks!
