By Zach Stubblefield ’15 I’ve done many extracurricular activities during my time at high school and they’ve all been a blast, but without a doubt football has made me grow the most as a person.

By Stacey Wells ’15 When I entered my sophomore year, I wasn’t involved in any clubs or organizations here at Sherwood. My mom and I argued about it (well, more of her making a decision and me resisting) that I was to join something that year and it better be interesting. I refused to stay long hours after school and … Read More
By Jack Armstrong ’15 I have always known what I wanted to do after high school: be a filmmaker. As high school comes to an end, it’s hard to explain the level of passion and dedication I have for filmmaking. Most people would probably assume I just like to sit around watching movies and TV shows (and I do to … Read More

By Catherine Jou ’15 I don’t know who I am, what I will be like in the future and how I was perceived through this purgatory we call high school. In the eyes of my friends I’ll probably be remembered for being notoriously random and abstract. To most of my teachers, I was more likely than not your typical, quiet … Read More
By Brian Hughes ’15 The thought that some people have about your four years of high school being some of the best in your life is a questionable one to me. For my sake, at least, I hope it’s not so.
