New Walking Trail at White County High School

The Highway Department has just finished an exciting addition for White County High School. Working alongside WCHS’s very own Adam Shaw and his family, a new walking trail has been carved out by the tennis and basketball courts. The new trail stretches all the way from in front of the courts, curving behind them and through the trees, and even connects to the baseball field on the opposite end.

“Working with Adam and his family,” said Highway Superintendent Jerry Sawyer, “They have really gone above and beyond. He has, with helping get this project. Our guys just did the legwork.”

The project is not entirely finished, however, as there is yet another stage to it all: a new playground. Behind the pickleball court, there is a playground planned to be installed in the next few weeks as well.

Sawyer also shared these words on his Facebook, saying, “Investing in our youth is something I care deeply about, and White County High School truly offers a beautiful set of facilities for students to enjoy. Throughout this project, I’ve been blown away by the number of kids I’ve seen outside, being active, spending time together, and making the most of these spaces.”

The Highway Department and Adam Shaw are accepting volunteers to help with the project on Jerry Sawyer’s Facebook, as they work hard to provide more avenues for the Sparta community to safely get active.
