Principal's Message

I would like to take this opportunity to offer a warm welcome to Sharyland High School. On behalf of the faculty, staff, and administration, I want you to know that our top priority is our students and our aim is to establish and maintain a culture of academic excellence, structure, respect, and collegiality. We are extremely proud to proclaim that our relentless pursuit of excellence, fueled by our students’ dedication, our faculty’s and staff’s passion, and parent's invaluable support, led our school to be awarded all 7 distinctions possible by the Texas Education Agency and achieved an “A” Superior Rating for the 2022 - 2023 school year.  We were also honored to be recognized (UIL Lone Star Cup) as one of the Top 25 performing high schools in Texas which ranks public high schools based on their academic and athletic UIL performances and achievements. This recognition, alongside others, showcases the passion our student-athletes and faculty put forth in their work and programs, exhibiting not only the dedication to their success but the desire to be the best they can be. I feel extremely humbled and honored to serve as principal in what will be my 7th year here at Sharyland High School. Thank you in advance for all your support as none of our accomplishments would be possible without you. Go Rattlers!
