Erin Mazer is eager to begin her new role this year as tenth grade administrator. She replaces Renee Brimfield, who retired over the summer.

Mazer began her career in education as a science teacher at Gaithersburg High School, teaching biology and anatomy. She then took on the role of academy coordinator, and was promoted to assistant school administrator.

Like many, Mazer was not always sure what she wanted to do as a career. “I took some education classes and got to work directly with students … where I found a passion for working with kids and seeing them learn and understand,” said Mazer.

She applied for the position of assistant principal at Sherwood after hearing positive words and feedback about the staff and students. “Everyone has a team attitude of working towards … giving students the best education they can,” said Mazer.

Mazer is excited to start off on a good note this school year and hopes to better the school and community over time. “I want to learn about all the traditions and great programs here, and I want to make my mark and take Sherwood to the next level,” she said.
