Greetings,

As we strive to build a world-class school district together, it is important that we regularly evaluate our progress by identifying areas of organizational excellence as well as areas for continued improvement. Feedback will remain anonymous and will be used in campuses/departments and as a district to make Sherman ISD even better for students, team members, and our community. Please consider your experiences this year as you answer each question and provide recognition and suggestions for improvement. Working together, we can accomplish anything. Thank you for Building Bearcats everyday!
