Sparta High School is a four-year comprehensive community public high school serving grades nine through twelve from Sparta Township, in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States, operating as the lone secondary school of the Sparta Township Public School District. The school underwent a $71.5M major reconstruction project.〔("Residents narrowly spring for overhaul to aging Sparta High School" ), News 12 New Jersey, September 27, 2006. Accessed August 13, 2014. "Sparta homeowners barely put the stamp of approval on a major high school facelift with the passage of a $71.5 million school referendum Tuesday night."〕 As of the 2012-13 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,229 students and 95.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.90:1. There were 26 students (2.1% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 19 (1.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.〔(School Data for Sparta High School ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed March 29, 2015.〕 ==History== The school opened in September 1959 when Newton High School in neighboring Newton, which had also served Sparta students, could no longer take on Sparta's rapidly growing high school-aged population. The sending districts of Byram and Hopatcong combined with Sparta to form the initial student body. In its first year of operation, Sparta High enrolled over 400 students enrolled in just three grades, including students from not only Sparta, but also from nearby Hopatcong and Byram Township, which shared the school. In May 1964, Sparta graduated its first class—of 160 students—that had attended the school for all four years. During the 1970s, Sparta High School instituted split sessions to help alleviate problems brought on by increased enrollment. This was only a temporary fix, however, and the town later approved a referendum to build an annex onto the back of the school, more than doubling its area. The section added a new cafeteria, a library, and open classroom spaces. In the early 1990s, the open spaces provided by the built-on annex were renovated and became closed classrooms. By this time, over one thousand students—all from Sparta—were enrolled in the school. Later in the 1990s, the high school was expanded yet again, adding a new science wing and a number of technological upgrades. In September 2006, Sparta residents approved a referendum to perform major renovations on the school that aim to bring the school up to date. The construction began in the spring of 2008 and was completed by the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. This reconstruction was to alleviate the issue of overcrowding that the school faced. During the construction, many classrooms were displaced to a cluster of modular trailer rooms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sparta High School (New Jersey)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
