Sherry is a friend to many, a dedicated member of our team, and a true champion for student success. In the transportation garage, she works tirelessly to ensure our athletes, clubs, and field trips have the coverage they need. She even steps in to help cover routes when a driver is absent. Sherry is a remarkable asset to our district and it's a tremendous honor to celebrate her as our staff champion of the month!
