Sheldon ISD was one of 373 districts across the U.S. and Canada recognized for creating opportunities for traditionally underrepresented students. Districts on the honor roll demonstrate significant and consistent growth in the number of underrepresented students taking college-level courses and applying to four or more colleges.

Our Mission

The mission of Advanced Academics in Sheldon ISD is to provide equitable opportunities for learners to reach their highest intellectual potential by integrating differentiated, challenging instructional environments that foster college and career success.
