Welcome and Self-Introductions Supt. It currently has a waiting list of more than 300 students for the 2000-2001 school year. Sparks Middle School Built in 1954, Sparks Middle School has had no major renovations, except a new cafeteria kitchen, which was rebuilt after a fire. The school serves more than 1000 sixth through eighth grades students, almost all of whom live in the immediate area. Inadequate draining results in flooding throughout the campus, especially during wet winter months.
Some light fixtures are so old that replacement parts can no longer be obtained.
Antiquated plumbing and electrical systems have created hardships for both students and staff. Sparks Middle School has set as its priority goal for students to become stronger learners in the area of literacy, with an emphasis on writing across the curriculum.
