Principal's Message
As always, this past week has been about getting deeper into our academics, enjoying all of the wonderful extra-curricular activities at the school, and looking forward to our upcoming spring events. In addition to all of those aspects of the school, we are extremely proud of the success of our Winter Percussion team that is competing in the World Championships in Ohio this week, and had the opportunity to watch their performance this morning in our Homeroom. We are extremely excited to share that they are in first place entering tomorrow's final round!!!!
Have a great weekend, and Go Bowmen!

Sherwood Spring Fest
Hello Sherwood community members! Sherwood High School is very excited to announce our first annual Spring Fest! Spring Fest is a carnival-style event happening at the Sherwood High School main stadium field on May 13th from 6-8:30 pm. There will be games, food, a talent show, raffle baskets, and attractions. All event booths will be set up on the turf field, not the track itself. All Sherwood community members are invited to attend this event. While admission is free, game tickets and food will be available for purchase. More information will be released soon, and a presale for game tickets will be available for sale online starting next week. Spring fest is a fundraising event; all the money raised will go towards SHS clubs, sports, and Sherwood organizations.
We want to give back to our community and be as inclusive as possible by having free admission, but we need your help! If you are able to support, below is a PayPal link to donate directly. Your generous donations will go towards event vendors, prizes, decorations, and more! This is our first year hosting Spring Fest, and your generosity will help us kick start a new community tradition!
