Sherman ISD Board of Trustees Calls

For May 2023 Bond Election

The Sherman ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously Jan. 23 to call a bond election for May 2023 that would prepare for growth, address aging facilities and provide safe and secure schools. The bond was recommended by a group of parents, staff, students, and community members that evaluated the needs of the school district.

Proposed projects include:

Two new elementary schools in growing areas of Sherman
New school buildings to replace Crutchfield and Fairview elementary schools, built in 1951 and 1952 respectively
New Early Childhood Center at current site of Wakefield Elementary, built in 1956
Additions to Sherman High School to increase capacity by 525 students to 3,200 students total
Renovation and conversion of Dillingham Elementary into a middle school
Renovations to Piner Middle School and Jefferson Learning Center, built in 1953 and 1931 respectively
Districtwide safety, security, and technology upgrades
New stadium at Sherman High School

The district’s growing tax base–the result of manufacturing and industry growth and new development–would allow SISD to fund all of the projects with no tax rate increase. SISD aggressively pays down debt and has its lowest tax rate in 15 years. For more information, visit www.shermanisd.net/bond.

Last-Minute Goal Seals First District

Win For Bearcat Soccer

A literal last-minute goal from junior Garrett Wilkens gave Bearcat Soccer the 2-1 win Wednesday night against Princeton in their district home opener. It was scoreless until the second half when Princeton scored first off a corner, and then Wilkens had a hand in a cross that turned into an own goal against Princeton. In the final minute, Wilkens found the corner of the net to give the edge to the Bearcats.
