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!
