Sheridan School District is pleased to announce the theme for the 2020-21 school year: Make It Count!
This past year has served as a great reminder that we should make the most out of each day. We must take every opportunity to teach and learn, and we shouldn't take our time for granted. Although COVID-19 has brought about some changes in school and everyday life that we aren't necessarily thrilled with, let's focus on the positive and find joy in whatever we do.
Our faculty and staff are grateful for the time we have with our students, and we see each day as another opportunity to make a positive impact on our students' lives!
Please help us show support for our students as they begin the school year by sharing your words of encouragement on your social media pages! Use the hashtag #MakeItCount!
The governor officially announced on August 14 that football and volleyball will be able to continue their schedule of competition. However, we will need to meet the Arkansas Department of Health guidelines for large venue events. This means we will have limited seating available for fans at our facilities. No season passes will be sold this year and no AAA passes will be accepted.
For football, each participating student (football, cheer, dance, band) will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets each. Tickets may be purchased at the high school office during the week of the game. No tickets will be sold at the gate. Only pre-sold tickets will be accepted. Football games will be live streamed. Each week you will find the link to the live stream on the Sheridan Athletics Web page.
For volleyball, tickets will be sold at the gate until capacity is reached. There will be limited seats available in the Yellowjacket Arena.
Information for purchasing tickets to AWAY games is not available at this time.
ADH Guidelines for Face Coverings at Athletics Events:
All attendees are required to wear face coverings except for children under 10 years of age. Due to increased production of respiratory droplets during yelling and cheering, face coverings should remain in place even when attendees are seated and maintaining required physical distancing. Face coverings may be removed to consume food or beverage but should be in place immediately afterwards.

Today the school board recognized SHS AP teachers Susan Coles and Chris Jones (not pictured).
Mrs. Coles had the highest number of students who received 3s and 4s on the AP exams last Spring.
Mr. Jones’ students had a 100% pass rate for the third consecutive year.
Congratulations to these amazing educators and thank you for all you do!
Today the school board recognized Kaleigh Coker, a Class of 2020 graduate who earned the National AP Scholar award, the highest level of recognition given by the College Board.
This award is granted to students who receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP exams taken during a student’s high school career, as well as score a 4 or higher on at least eight exams.
Kaleigh plans to attend Hendrix College this fall as a prospective biochemistry and molecular biology major.
When asked about her experience in SHS AP courses, Kaleigh said, “Without the enjoyable challenge of Sheridan's AP courses, my high school experience would not have been nearly as fulfilling and insightful. My teachers are the reason I'm on the path to my passion.”
