Throwback Thursday

As the Yellowjackets prepare for another exciting football season, it seems fitting to tip our hats to Sheridan's first football team, a rugged bunch pictured here in 1924. Notice that helmets at that time were made of leather and none had facemasks. Those in the picture appear loose-fitting and seem to also lack chin-straps.

Throwback Thursday

We’re kicking off a new tradition – every Thursday this school year, we plan to share a piece of Sheridan School District history along with some vintage photos or art from years gone by.

In 1873, the Arkansas Gazette described Sheridan as “blessed with quiet law-abiding citizens with a highly cultivated state of morals.” The article indicated that locals were eager to build “a fine male and female high school,” which was completed around 1879 on the northeast corner of Oak and Bell Streets.

Not long after, the school moved to the site of today’s Sheridan Middle School. The first building there had just two rooms, but by 1884 it was replaced with a four-room frame schoolhouse – marking the humble beginnings of today’s Sheridan School District.

Information and photo from “SHS: The First 100 Years, 1879-1979” compiled by Elwin Goolsby and Bobbie Nelson Graves. #YJNation #ExcellenceEveryDay

Earlier this week, the Sheridan School District Board of Education approved seeking a 9-year extension of the district's current millage rate of 36 mills. With voter approval, a number of projects across the district would be funded without increasing the current millage (tax) rate. Please see the accompanying graphic for more details.

The Sheridan 9th grade cheer team had an outstanding showing at the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) Camp earlier this summer!

The team placed first in their Jam performance and earned a superior ribbon on the final day of camp. They also received the Technical Excellence award for their Jam performance, and a group of girls in the squad won in their division for Top Gun Stunt Group.

We’re so proud of these athletes and their hard work!

The Sheridan 7th-8th grade cheer teams participated in the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) Cheer Camp earlier this month and brought home several awards.

They won second place in Game Day Cheer and earned the Herkie Team Award for Leadership, which was given to one junior high team out of all who attended. The teams also received an invitation to the Citrus Bowl and a Showmanship award in Jam.

Ten cheerleaders were nominated for All American, with one earning the honor. Three girls received the Pin-it-Forward award, and one earned the Individual Leadership Award, which was chosen from all junior high participants.

The girls also enjoyed bonding with other squads, including Greenwood, Hazen, and Mat 1.

A special thank you to Roof Connect, Jeff Vance, Pam Clark, and Arley Wheetley Arkansas Electric Service and Contracting for providing meals and treats. Your support kept the girls going strong!

Time to clean out that closet! If you have a musical instrument from your child's time in band (or when you were in band), please consider donating it to the Sheridan band program. We always have students who can benefit from a loaner if theirs is being repaired, and we have many students who are interested in learning secondary instruments. Many instruments can be put into playing condition with minor service and can continue to give someone the joy of making music.

If you have questions please contact Gregg Scott at greggscott@sheridanschools.org or message at (501) 613-7862. He will be glad to provide you with an appraisal estimate for your donation records.
