Nine Sheridan High School students attended Arkansas Governor’s School at Arkansas Tech University for four weeks during the summer, July 5-August 1. The students were recognized for their achievement at the Sheridan School District Board of Education’s monthly meeting on Monday.
Pictured (left to right) are Kenny DeJarnette, Amy Pfenenger, Carter Lowery, Brianna Rasdon, Kadin McDaniel, Parker Guthrie, and Sheridan School District Acceleration Coordinator Summer Williams. Not pictured are: Lillian Baker, Laynie Linn, and Eavan Gwinn.
According to the Arkansas Tech website, “The Arkansas Governor’s School is a non-credit program that seeks to create a unique experience for a select group of Arkansas’ best students – the potential leaders of the 21st century. Both inside and outside the classrooms, AGS provides highly motivated, creative students with an intellectual atmosphere impossible to sustain in ordinary academic settings.”
Congratulations to these high-performing SHS students!

Bill Remow, an AP history teacher at Sheridan who also serves as a volunteer firefighter, was recognized at Monday night’s meeting of the Board of Education for his work developing a training program for first responders at Sheridan High School. Remow teaches AP European history, AP world history, and AP art history at SHS.
Sheridan Fire Chief Ben Hammond presented Remow a letter of commendation that read, “It is my pleasure to present this letter of commendation to FF Bill Remow. Over the course of 2024 and 2025, FF Remow has developed a training program for first responders at Sheridan High School. FF Remow has spent countless hours teaching and mentoring these students to ensure that they are prepared and equipped to respond to real world emergencies on school grounds. FF Remow has also encouraged the students to volunteer with their local fire departments, laying the groundwork to develop future professional responders. In a society where interest in the fire service, law enforcement, and EMS is dwindling, engaging the youth and fostering interest is the only way that this career field will remain stable. For this, FF Remow has earned this letter of commendation.”

September 11 — A day of remembrance.
Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the first responders, service members and ordinary citizens whose courage shone through in our nation’s darkest hours.
We also remember the unity and compassion that followed — a reminder that even in times of great sorrow, Americans can stand together with strength and resolve.
May we continue to honor their memory through gratitude, service and kindness.
We will never forget.

The Sheridan School District continues to experience internet and phone outages for the third consecutive day. Our provider is working on the issue and hopes to have it resolved soon. We apologize for any inconvenience anyone may experience in reaching us.
Track access at Yellowjacket Stadium will be unavailable to the public Monday, August 24 through Friday, August 28 in preparation for the Sheridan-White Hall football game on Friday. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Sheridan Middle School ONLY will be closed to students today due to a loss of power in parts of the building following last night’s storm.
Staff will still report to work as scheduled, as older parts of the building still have power and the remainder should have power later today.
Power had been restored to the entire building but went out again moments ago. More information will be provided later today as we assess the situation.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Two Sheridan students were recognized at the August meeting of the district's Board of Education for their participation in the 2026 CTE Summer Exploration Camp held at the Saline County Career and Technical Center over the summer. The Sheridan School District was one of three districts selected to participate. This is a week-long camp that was held July 13 – July 17, hosted by Division of Career and Technical Education, Arkansas Rehabilitation Services, Arkansas Transition Services, and Saline County Career Technical Campus (SCCTC). The camp was free for the two SSD students who attended.
Lauryn Kimbrell chaperoned our students at the camp, which offered hands-on and classroom activities for students to experience career pathways in health professions, construction, welding, and automotive the first four days. On final day of the camp, students took an informational campus tour of ASU Three Rivers in Malvern to help make connections to post-secondary opportunities and concluded with a completion ceremony.

A GREAT FIRST WEEK AT THE SHERIDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT! 💙💛
There were plenty of smiles from students and staff across the Sheridan School District this week — and plenty happening behind the scenes, too! As we wrap up our first week of the 2026–27 school year, here’s a quick look at our first week by the numbers:
🎒 Nearly 4,000 students welcomed back in grades K–12, plus preK and Early Childhood Education
🍎 More than 14,000 meals served to students this week
🚌 30 bus routes, transporting approximately 1,900 students each day
📍 625 square miles covered by the Sheridan School District
🏫 Eight schools located in two counties
🏫 One NEW school — Jacket Academy — providing virtual and hybrid learning opportunities and serving our Alternative Learning programs
And we're already building for what's ahead! Site preparation is underway for the new East End Elementary School and a new covered practice pavilion in Sheridan.
There are a lot of numbers that tell the story of our district, but this week, our favorite is an easy one:
ONE GREAT FIRST WEEK! 💙💛
Thank you to our students, staff, families and community for making it a great start to the year!
