About

The Sherrard Community Unit School District #200 is a Pre-K through 12th grade district located in Rock Island and Mercer Counties in the northwestern part of Illinois. Sherrard has a strong tradition of academic and athletic excellence, community support and parental involvement. Known as a progressive district, a broad array of educational opportunities are offered to students. The current Pre-K through 12 enrollment of nearly 1500 students is housed in four different campuses. Approximately 200 staff members are employed by the district.

The district is located just south of the Quad Cities and encompasses 182 square miles. Agriculture is deeply rooted in the community's history; however, many residents now work and in the Quad Cities. There isn't a large town within the school district boundaries, but there are numerous smaller towns including New Windsor, Viola, Matherville, Sherrard and Coyne Center. A sizeable housing development called Fyre Lake is located on the southeast outskirts of Sherrard. About two-thirds of the district lies in Mercer County
