The 14th Annual Sheridan Academy Graduation and Awards Banquet is next week (6/3/10). I am reflecting on the last 14 years of teaching at Sheridan Academy and I am pleased with what this "company" has become and what we produce.
After 14 years, alum come back and update us on what they have done post-Sheridan. we are always interested to see how they have grown and what they have experienced. Our alumni are in Korea (US Air Force), graduates of Boise State, Chico State, Oregon State, nursing programs, and other college programs.
We are proud of them.
This year I will hand two seniors a high school diploma. As always, I am nervous that they lack the skills that I know that they will need to be successful as full-time students at a university. And, every year, I am confident that we have done an excellent job preparing them for higher education.
I attended recently a large traditional school graduation for my step-daughter. So many students- I wonder where they will be in 5 or 10 years? Alas, I was 18 once also, and I figured it out...they will too.
My day-to-day job requirements often move me away from my students and more towards administration. I know that running this school requires much managerial and admin attention, but I feel most rewarded working with my students. I am blessed (as are the students and parents) with wonderful teachers that have sacrificed so much to help our students. I know that our students are receiving an outstanding education for Sheridan teachers.
It has been a good year...!

It is hard to see the birds leave the nest, isn't it? Certainly you and the other devoted Sheridan personnel have done everything possible to prepare the students. It is up to them to put your positive influence to work in their own lives. They are fortunate and undoubtedly at an advantage because they have been part of the Sheridan experience. Thanks for all you do for the youth of our community.
