Welcome to
Sherrills Ford Elementary — Home of the Tigers! 🐾
At Sherrills Ford Elementary, we believe every child deserves a safe, welcoming, and inspiring place to learn and grow. Serving students in Kindergarten through 6th grade, our school is proud to be a center of academic excellence, community spirit, and whole-child development.
Nestled in the heart of the Sherrills Ford community, we blend time-honored traditions with innovative teaching practices. Our dedicated teachers and staff create engaging, supportive classrooms where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential. From building strong foundations in literacy and math to exploring the arts, STEM, and character education, we provide a well-rounded education for every learner.
We are proud to offer opportunities for students to showcase their talents and interests through club participation, helping them grow as leaders and team players beyond the classroom. In addition, our Spanish Immersion program gives students the chance to become bilingual and biliterate, opening doors to global understanding and future success.
We take pride in fostering a culture of kindness, curiosity, and high expectations. Our small-town setting strengthens connections among students, families, and staff—creating a true sense of belonging and Tiger pride.
At Sherrills Ford Elementary, we empower our Tigers to dream big, work hard, and grow into confident, compassionate learners.

Inclusivity
We prioritize inclusivity by actively promoting a welcoming and supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered.
