🎉 Sherrard Middle School Celebrates 50 Years! 🎉
Sherrard Middle School proudly celebrated its 50th anniversary with a special event bringing together teachers from the original year, former staff, and current faculty and students. The celebration honored the school’s rich history and the many people who have made it such a special place over the years.
Former teacher Mr. Mike Ferro and longtime principal Mr. Don Yost, who led Sherrard for 20 years, spoke to students and staff about their time at the school. Both reflected fondly on their experiences and expressed that Sherrard was truly one of the best places to work.
Current staff who once attended Sherrard when it was a junior high were also recognized, including Mr. Greg Oliver, current 8th-grade math teacher, who shared that his years at Sherrard Junior High were “some of the best years of his life.”
Former faculty members attending included Joyce Cole, Carol Young, Lynn Allen, Steve Latacz, Patty Morris, Louella Hanlin, Rosetta Epifano, Denis Morris, Cindy Burke, Richard Nirhaus, Mike Ferro, and Don Yost.
Over the past 50 years, Sherrard has seen many exciting changes. What was once the home economics room is now a robotics lab, and the former library has been transformed, with half of it now serving as a STEM room—a reflection of Sherrard’s continued commitment to innovation and hands-on learning.
Here’s to 50 years of excellence, growth, and community at Sherrard Middle School—and to many more ahead! ♥️🤍♥️
