Congratulations to the Sheridan High School Chamber Choir, under the direction of Jeremy Wayne, for getting an Excellent rating at the Arkansas Choral Director Association's State Choir Festival held at UCA on April 10. The choir performed three songs in front of a panel of judges. Special thanks to Gregg Scott for driving the bus and accompanying on drums and to SHS alum Rebecca Goins for accompanying on piano.

National Assistant Principal Week is April 7-11, and we are fortunate to have some of the very best at the Sheridan School District. The week is set aside each year to honor the dedication and hard work of assistant principals, who are often "unsung heroes" in the education system. They play a vital role in supporting teachers, motivating students, and creating a positive learning environment. Thank you to all the Sheridan School District assistant principals for all that you do!
