Meet Sparky
Sparky is the newest member of the Spark team, filling the position of mascot. Sparky is a salamander whose unique abilities represent many of Spark’s principles. Salamanders can regenerate tails and limbs symbolizing rebirth and renewal. They can also withstand fire, demonstrating incredible determination and resilience in the face of adversity. Sparky is a native amphibian of East Tennessee and has a cousin, the Tennessee Cave Salamander, who is the official state amphibian for Tennessee!
