Sheldon and the surrounding communities of Matlock, Ashton, and Archer provide a pleasant setting for the Sheldon Community School District. Sheldon offers small town life with conveniences for raising families in a caring community. Sheldon Community School District has been a leader in educational programs for many years. School district facilities are continually being improved. Board members, administration, and school staff put the needs of students as top priority in any decisions that are made. We welcome community members and newcomers to our schools. Many community members find volunteer work at our schools a great benefit to themselves as well as to the school. The school district works in partnership with many local businesses to provide additional resources to build an effective school program. The curricular and co-curricular programs offer students many opportunities to learn and grow. This is done with a variety of programs and a progressive attitude towards meeting the needs of all students in the district. The school district also has strong links with other educational institutions, including private schools and our community college. The Sheldon Community School District has a reputation for leadership in education. We, as a community, are proud to call Sheldon “home.”
