Principal Bill Gregory informed staff earlier this month that Assistant Principal Terry Heintze and Assistant School Administrator George Awkard will be departing from Sherwood at the end of the school year.

Heintze has been with Sherwood for the past three years and Awkard for four. An Assistant School Administrator position is a four-year position and Awkard has completed his time commitment for the position and will take a new position next year at a different school. Heintze is being transferred to another school to continue as an assistant principal.

Both will be missed by the Sherwood community and they, in turn, will miss working at the school. “My favorite aspects of the job at Sherwood are the daily interactions I get to have with the students and the relationship that I have built with the community,” said Awkard.

Before coming to Sherwood, Heintze was an administrator at Rosa Parks Middle School. “I’ve known many of our students since middle school, and I’ve been able to watch them grow into young adults,” said Heintze. “That’s a pretty cool thing.”
