On March 16, 2024, twenty-six students from area schools gathered for an immersive morning designed to connect them with healthcare professionals and introduce practical tools for stress relief and staying active. Interactive presentations led by Dr. Sheila Ward and Dr. Patrick Hudgins encouraged students to get up and move rather than sit through a traditional lecture. A highlight of the morning was a therapeutic drumming session rooted in African cultural tradition, offering students a meaningful and hands-on way to explore the mind-body connection. 

The Healthy Living event reflects the Spartan Prep Academy’s commitment to preparing young people not only academically, but holistically — equipping them with the wellness knowledge and habits that support long-term success.
