School Website :  http://pages.cms.k12.nc.us/sharon/

Sharon School is best described by the words on the banner that flies in the school's lobby, “North Carolina Honor School of Excellence”.    This designation, indicating school performance above 90% and all sub-groups of students making goals, was accomplished by attaining a status of “high growth” for two straight years.   But as in sports, where last season is history, the staff at Sharon School is focused on the present and their vision for the future.

Sharon School's academic program continues to be refined with special emphasis on math and science.  Sharon is reporting testing scores considerably ahead of last year’s pace in mathematics.   Science instruction has similarly been extended, with lab periods for every class now being offered on a weekly basis.   This hands-on experience with their Science Curriculum Associate and the children’s classroom teacher is supplemented by a long-term research project in their Science Exploratorium over a period of several weeks during the year.  Tremendous enthusiasm abounds about Sharon School's science program and they're looking to continued excellence in this department. Literacy and writing instruction continues to reflect higher levels of instruction as well.   Last year’s EOG (end of grade) score of  98.9% at or above grade level!  

Instruction and programming with the use of Multiple Intelligences as developed by Dr. Howard Gardner, has also been implemented at Sharon School.  Culminating 'MI Events' bring learning to life through application, exploration, and performance.  Several of these events are scheduled for all grade levels throughout the year.

Classroom teachers bring a wealth of new ideas to strengthen an already highly ranked neighborhood school.  With a host of teachers who hold graduate degeees,  National Board Certifications, and with professional development a high priority, Sharon's staff continues to demonstrate that they are truly a professional learning community.  This year's focus, developing greater skill in building collective efficacy, has been supported by the generosiy of the PTSA in both monetary donations and hundreds of volunteer hours.

The future that awaits Sharon's students will require a technological sophistication which is barely imaginable!  The staff, parents and students remain committed to preserving the warmth and spirit of Sharon that is so apparent to everyone who enters the building.
