✨ We are thrilled to celebrate Sherrie Derry as our next Homegrown Hero! She is a Boone High School alumna from the Class of 1974 who has been making a difference at Boone CSD for over 27 years!
Sherrie's journey started in December 1997, when she was hired to supervise the lunchroom. From there, her role grew to include preparing and serving breakfast, supervising study hall, managing ISS and morning detention, and eventually becoming a one-on-one special education associate. Sherrie has dedicated herself to helping students with various needs, including those with Angelman syndrome, autism, and Down syndrome.
"The students at BHS teach me something new quite often," shared Sherrie. "They have been awesome at helping me learn how to do more things on computers."
Sherrie’s compassion, commitment, and love for the students shine through in everything she does. We are so grateful to have Sherrie as part of our Boone CSD family! 🙌
