About Us

In 1990, Mayor Bob Breeding and Vice Mayor Margaret Pearson transformed the original building of West Sparta Elementary School into the City of Sparta Recreational Center. The mission was to serve human needs in greater purpose by providing quality programs that promote lifelong personal growth and the balanced development of spirit, mind, and body for all. On March 24th,1992, Jack Franklin signed the original charter which made the Sparta-White County Family YMCA officially validated to function under the name of the YMCA.
