About Me
I am so ready to begin this year, 40 for me! I LOVE teaching teenagers; there's really nothing I'd rather do.
I am excited to begin my 12th year at Scottsbluff High School and my 10th year with CHOICES. This will be our third year with CHOICES in the main building: I am now in Room 131. This exposure to all SHS students and staff is absolutely incredible. I actually like standing in the hallway in the morning to greet everyone that walks down our hallway.
I absolutely love school! I earned my Masters in education and developmental counseling from Chadron State College, and I also acquired my three bachelors degrees there, too, in English, Theatre, and Speech. This year, I'll still be CHOICES. I am also teaching three sections of English 10 and one of Integrated Lit. I am the head coach of Mock Trial, and I'll be sponsoring Key Club.
Although a teacher is really who I am, I am joyfully a grandma, mom, and wife, too. I have three grandsons and three children. I enjoy life -- truly, I do and gratefully so. I like shopping, baking, going to auctions, and riding my Harley.
Students, please know that I am honored to be your teacher. I like spending my days with you. I look forward to getting to know you and your passions. It will be an adventure to discover your traits and develop your skills as you become your best selves. Thank you for coming in ready to learn and grow and become!
Parents, please know that your children are already amazing. I believe in them and in their abilities to move mountains. Thank you for trusting me; it is a privilege I do not take lightly. I intend to make their education relevant, meaningful, and personal.
You may contact me by phone at 308.672.2724 to text, through Remind, or via mail to sherdt@sbps.
