Striving for Excellence

Academics

Learning at Sherman has shifted. Our teachers make learning more relevant to scholars' current life and create opportunities for students to share their voice and advocate for themselves.

Before, During, and After School

At Sherman School of Excellence it is our mission and goal to educate the whole child socially, emotionally and academically. We work to ensure that we bring out the gifts and talents in every student to help them reach their full potential. We engage our students in a variety of programs and activities to develop them. Every student at Sherman SOE has an opportunity to participate in a variety of classes and projects before, during and after school.

A School of Families

"Sherman is a school of families; everybody here is related to somebody else. So, our school feels like home for a lot of our students. Our students feel safe here."

Collaborative Community
We are truly fortunate to have parents and teachers working together to shape the educational journeys of our scholars. Their combined efforts and shared commitment create an educational experience with a home-school connection that promotes greater student success and well-being.

Our Parents Matter
At Sherman we believe that a stable and nurturing home life directly impacts a child's attendance, preparedness, and overall success in school. That's why we are dedicated to providing comprehensive resources and support to not just the children but their families as well.

Everyone Deserves Access to World-Class Education

I've been very intentional with acquiring a lot of partnerships because I have been in affluent schools and I've been in schools on the other side of the fence, and I believe everyone deserves access to a world-class education. I wanted to ensure no difference in what the scholars in this neighborhood get compared to those in affluent schools.
