Sheridan senior Skylar Sterritt has broken the state high school record for career stolen bases in fastpitch softball!

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!

This is National Assistant Principals Week, and it is a chance to recognize some of the most impactful – and often behind-the-scenes – leaders in our schools.

At the Sheridan School District, our assistant principals are difference-makers every single day. They support our teachers, build relationships with students, help keep campuses running smoothly, and step in wherever they’re needed – often without recognition. From early mornings to late afternoons (and plenty in between), they help create a positive, safe, and high-expectation environment.

We’re grateful for their leadership, their heart for kids, and their commitment to excellence every day. Join us this week in celebrating our outstanding assistant principals!

The Lady Jackets got back to their winning ways with a 4-1 victory over the Beebe Badgers at Badger Stadium last night.

Beebe started the scoring out within the first few minutes of the game, but Sheridan’s Emily Her tied it up with a penalty kick. Haven Rhoden added two more, one in each half with Giselle Wackerly rounding out the scoring for Sheridan. Chloe Smith had several key saves to keep the Badgers from scoring after their first goal. The Lady Jackets move to 10-3 on the season while Beebe drops to 2-6. Sheridan travels to Texarkana for Tuesday evening's 7 p.m. game at Razorback Stadium.
