Homecoming King and Queen Crowned

Congratulations to Alan Salazar and Roselyn Matamoros for being named the 2022 Homecoming King and Queen! Every one of the Final Five was a wonderful representative of Sherman High School, and look below for more photos! Click/tap on each one to enlarge.

There were two Fabulous Field Trips this week, and they were a great success!

SHS students headed to Nautilus Family Fitness Tuesday to learn about daily operations and some of the technology used in physical fitness. Owner Shawn Teamann gave the group a tour of the fitness center and took questions throughout.

On Thursday, SMS students headed to Knight Furniture & Mattress, and owner Joey Gunn and his sales team walked the group through the warehouse and the behind-the-scenes areas of the historic business. The trip focused on sales and marketing with a touch of interior design work.

This week is College Week, and Sherman ISD staff and students rocked it with dressing up throughout the week!

Sherman High School also held a college fair with 55 institutions represented, and Wakefield Elementary brought in Austin College students to speak to kids.

It's important for our students to receive a higher education, be it at a traditional four-year university, a junior college, or a vocational school.

The Piner Project Lead The Way STEM class conducted races Tuesday with their small cars made in class to learn about physics and data tracking.

ArtsFest is nearly upon us, and that means it's nearly time for the Sherman Education Foundation 5K and Bubble-K Fun Run!

There will be prizes for the Top 3 Campuses with highest participation (percentage based on campus enrollment). First prize will be catering for campus faculty by the Bearcat Grill (complete with publicity and fanfare) and 2nd & 3rd prizes will be $250 each for the campus Faculty Activity Fund!

The ag program at Sherman High School will be serving over 500 students this year, a good sign of growth, but with growth comes some challenges.



However, a few weeks ago, Sherman FFA Lead and ag teacher Kristi Sroka received some good news in the form of a $2,000 Walmart Community grant approved by the local store.

Support Sherman schools and save money at the same time!

The Sherman Education Foundation Major Saver Card Campaign will kick off Sept. 20. Cards are $15, and you can purchase cards online!

Fine Arts Spotlight

The Fine Arts Spotlight recognizes teachers across the district who teach students the arts, like music, classical art, theatre and much more. This week, learn a little more about Neblett Elementary's Kate Hearn and Sherman Middle School's Annette Mitchell and Anna Jensen.

Reading With Bearcats continued at Fairview this week as football players, athletic trainers and cheerleaders spoke at an assembly and read to classrooms.

For junior Levi Ullah, it was a return to the elementary where he attended, saying, "I really find this program amazing, coming back and helping our community."

We are a month away from the 2022 Bearcats Alumni Baseball Game. Alums need to fill out the registration form at the link below to guarantee a t-shirt. Odd years vs Even years to see who still has the Mojo. Dust off the leather and bring your buddies!
