Superintendents NOTES THIS EDITION OF THE SHERMAN BUILDING BEARCATS SCHOOL AND FAMILY MAGAZINE IS FOCUSED ON THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME: THE EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY EACH OF OUR STUDENTS TAKE. That trip, while different for each student, holds true to one ideal: #BuildingBearcats. The initiative is a simple concept with a widespread impact. It’s our commitment to equipping our students and preparing them for success after high school. The #BuildingBearcats initiative, which includes our parents, grandparents, volunteers, business, industry, and government leaders and more, is guided by our district values and beliefs: • We believe that education is the shared responsibility of students, staff, parents and the community. • We believe that developing the mind, heart, and spirit is vital for each student’s success. • We believe that effective leadership inspires excellence. • We believe that quality instruction engages students. • We believe that well-equipped and maintained facilities convey pride in the community. 6
