Dungeons and Dragons Club

Dungeons and Dragons is a tabletop game where players create characters with abilities and stories. One person acts as the Dungeon Master, whose role is the storyteller, leading a group of characters through a storyline. They are dedicated to setting up the world, describing it, and explaining the effects characters have on the environment and on non-playable characters that exist in the storyline. 

Members will learn and practice working collaboratively to solve a problem, use critical thinking skills and logical reasoning, practice math, and social skills, and work on their ability to think quickly and creatively at the moment in unique situations. Leaders will coordinate with Game Masters to document games and to ensure they run smoothly and fairly. Game Masters will volunteer, or the governing board will act as a Game Master.

Come and have fun playing this tabletop, roleplaying game!

Find the Courage

Find the Courage is an anti-bullying volunteer program that has been traditionally available to all Seniors at SHS since 2010. Any freshman who exhibit positive attitudes along with leadership qualities at Sparta High School can join the Google classroom this year and come to meetings to be assigned a senior student mentor. Seniors will be trained by the Center for Prevention and Counseling, once a week, to teach one or two anti-bullying health lessons, as well as run an anti-bullying event at the high school. The seniors use these lessons to form a positive school climate in which school-wide events are hosted by these lessons learned.

Freshman and any Underclassman are encouraged to attend all meetings in training for these events and to help lead their events their own senior year as well.
