My name is Amanda Shipman. I am excited to join Sherman ISD as a first-year teacher. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University last December. I had the pleasure of working at Jefferson Elementary as a long-term substitute at the end of the last school year. I have a husband, Tim, and four wonderful children. My oldest son is a marine, and my youngest three range from high school to elementary school. I enjoy reading, camping, and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to spending the school year growing and learning with students.
