Sparta High Point School | Veteran's Project
Summary: Join the students from High Point Charter School on a truly amazing adventure. It literally makes history come alive as we preserve the experiences of local veterans by collecting oral history interviews, memoirs, letters, diaries, photographs, and other original materials. It?s all part of the Veteran?s History Project sponsored by The Library of Congress. It?s all possible thanks to a grant from The Monroe County History Room. Listen to the excerpts. Read the stories. Appreciate the sacrifices. High Point Students and Staff
