The Husky Monthly

We are looking forward to welcoming students back to school in three weeks! We hope everyone has had a fun, restful, and safe summer break and is ready to kick off our school year.

The identity work we've done in the past 12 months with the entire school community has laid the foundation for the strategic plan that was developed, which in turn, is the catalyst for the action plans we are drafting now as a school team to be implemented beginning this school year.

These plans will be designed to strengthen and develop, over several years, key areas of our school community so we can guarantee we are providing Sherman students with the best educational experience possible. The changes and decisions we are making and will make will be a direct byproduct of the community-driven plan that has been created.

The work ahead of us is exciting, inspiring, a long-term commitment, and a long-term investment. We can't wait to work alongside you as we strive for continuous improvement, one day at a time, thinking big and focusing small.

Huskies Explore - We find new ways to learn and grow.

Huskies Pull Together - We work as a team to create community.

Huskies Are Resilient - We take risks to overcome challenges.

This will be our best year yet.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Fall & Mrs. Bagwell
