In the 2015, the Arkansas General Assembly passed a resolution designating September as annual “Take Your Legislator to School Month.” This bipartisan initiative was motivated so members of the General Assembly could better understand the issues and challenges facing public schools in their districts, as well as the innovative solutions our educators are developing. On Wednesday, the Sheridan School District hosted local legislators, State Rep. Ken Bragg and State Rep. Julie Mayberry. In addition to meeting with administrators, they had an opportunity to visit with a group of high school student leaders and engage in a question-and-answer session.
Congratulations to SHS senior Sophia Allen who was elected 2022 Homecoming Queen! The announcement was made during lunch today with a presentation by SHS Student Council President Brady Ingram and Buzz, the school's mascot. Sheridan's Homecoming will be Oct. 21 against Marion.
