In the average day, a teacher can wear many hats and fill many roles. From acting as a protector, role model, and sometimes parental figure, the role of a teacher goes well above simply acting as an educator and often extends well beyond the boundaries of the classroom.
Two local teachers were recognized this week for their efforts when choices for teacher of the year for 2020-2021 were announced. Along with the recognitions and other presents, both teachers will receive a new car that they will be able to use for the next year. We are so proud to recognize our teachers of the year for elementary and secondary today, Sherman Independent School District Superintendent David Hicks said. Each of them is inspirational to our staff and especially to our kids and give 110 percent each and every day. Their life s passion is about making children and we are lucky to have them at Sherman ISD.
Texoma charter schools aim for August opening
Herald Democrat
A pair of Texoma charter schools may open their doors to students as early as August. Representatives for Responsive Education Solutions said last month that work to open schools in Sherman and Whitewright is moving forward, and the two campuses will be open this fall.
The two charter schools received approval to open campuses from the Texas Education Agency in August 2020. This came one year after the campuses were denied approval by the TEA. Primarily what we are wanting to do is provide choices for parents, ResponsiveED Chief Education Architect Alan Wimberley said. We don t say other school systems are bad, we just say we will provide choices for parents, because parents are looking for that.
