Principal's Message

Dear Sherwood Families and Students,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I’m Trish Thomas, and it’s an honor to serve as Interim Principal of Sherwood Elementary (SWE).

With 37 years in education—and 27 in SBISD—I believe deeply in the power of connection. When we build trust with students, families, and one another, we create the conditions for both excellence and growth.

This year, we fully embrace the SBISD's Core Value of Every Child: Every Child. Every Day. Every Minute. Every Way.

That means we show up—consistently and intentionally—to support your child’s development across academics, character, and community. As we begin this year, I’m looking forward to getting to know each of you and building on Sherwood’s strong foundation. With high expectations, clear systems, and caring relationships, we’ll create a learning environment where all students thrive.

I’m grateful to partner with you. Let’s make this year one of meaningful progress and joyful learning.

With appreciation,


Patricia “Trish” Thomas
Interim Principal, Sherwood Elementary
