Principal's Message
Welcome Back Spartan Families and Community Members,
I hope that you all had a safe and enjoyable summer break. I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year at Spoto High School!
We are proud to share that Spoto has maintained a “B” school grade for three years in a row, and this year, we are setting our sights even higher—with a strong and shared commitment to becoming an “A” school.
Our faculty and staff are entering this year with renewed energy and dedication. Together, we are focused on providing a safe, supportive, and academically rich learning environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed and thrive.
Attendance Matters
One of the most critical factors in student success is consistent attendance. Being present in school every day helps students stay engaged, connected, and ready to benefit from everything Spoto has to offer from academics to athletics, clubs, and extracurricular programs.
Parents and students, your support in this area is essential. Please make attendance a top priority because when Spartans show up, Spartans succeed.
Partnership with Families
We know that education is a partnership between school and home, and we are so grateful for your continued support. We want every Spartan to feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their very best.
This year, we are excited to welcome even more parent and community involvement. Whether through our booster organizations or our efforts to relaunch a PTSA, there will be many opportunities to get involved, stay connected, and help shape the future of our school community.
Let’s work together to make this an incredible year of growth, learning, and achievement for every Spartan.
Thank you for being part of the Spoto family. Let’s make 2026-2027 our best year yet!
Sincerely,
Candace Culpepper, Principal

A broad selection of standard high school electives is available, including Fine Arts, Health/PE, Journalism, Digital Art, Music, Theatre, Law Studies, Psychology, and Leadership Development. Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs help students gain technical and workplace-ready skills, industry certifications, and scholarship or college credit opportunities.
