The Sheridan School District is excited to announce our virtual school option – Jacket Academy!
While we believe that the most effective learning environment for most students is in the classroom where they can engage directly with teachers and peers each day, we also recognize that there are circumstances where a virtual learning option can be beneficial for some students and families.
For many families, Jacket Academy offers the best of both worlds: the flexibility of school from home combined with the opportunities, experiences, and diploma of a Sheridan education. Students can complete their coursework remotely while being official Sheridan School District students.
For high school students, those benefits are especially significant. As Sheridan students enrolled through Jacket Academy, students may:
• Participate in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs on campus and at the Saline County Career Technical Campus
• Attend school events such as prom, assemblies, and student activities
• Participate in extracurricular programs and athletics (as eligibility allows)
• Walk at graduation and earn a Sheridan High School diploma
In addition, students receive instruction aligned to Arkansas standards, support from certified teachers, and access to district resources – all while learning from home.

At Sheridan School District, we’re proud to have some of the very best. Each day, they collectively drive more than 2,600 miles and safely transport over 1,900 students. Their commitment, care, and consistency make a difference for our students and families every single day.
We appreciate all that they do!

Emma Harrell fired a 3 inning no- hitter as the Lady Jackets shut out the Lady Zebras 24-0 in the first game. In game 2, Courtney McCool got her first career varsity pitching win as the Lady Jackets beat Pine Bluff 25-3. All 21 Sheridan girls who played contributed, reaching base safely.
The Lady Jackets ran their winning streak to 15 games, improving their record to 17-2, and 9-0 in the 5A-South conference.
Skylar stole #188 last night against Pine Bluff, passing Hannah Bourgeois from Pangburn, who set the record from 2013-2016 with 187 stolen bases. With eight regular season games remaining before the playoffs, we can certainly expect Skylar to add to her total.
Congratulations, Skylar, on a remarkable accomplishment!
