The Sheridan School District is saddened by the tragic news that two Sheridan High School seniors died in a car accident this evening. Our thoughts and prayers are with these families and their friends at this incredibly difficult time.

The Sheridan High School cafeteria will be open tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. Counselors will be available to help our students and staff cope with this tragedy.
We want to give a shout out to Dr. Winston and staff and Dr. Motes and staff for providing free physicals for our Special Olympics athletes!! Please let them know how much you appreciate them for providing this service!

Their book buddies are students in Mrs. Oliphant's 2nd grade class and Mrs. Newcomb's third grade class. The high school students have exchanged letters with the younger students throughout the semester to encourage them to read and write more often.
