Apply Now for 2026-27 Ambassador Academy

Sherman ISD is now accepting applications for Ambassador Academy, a community engagement program designed to build greater awareness and understanding of district operations. The program, now in its third year, provides parents and community members with a behind-the-scenes look at classroom learning, student opportunities and support provided to students. 

Participants will learn about the various aspects of running a public school district – from managing district finances to recruiting and retaining high-quality staff and ensuring safe and secure schools. 

Ambassador Academy is free and open to any adult resident or taxpayer who lives in Sherman ISD, though district employees are not eligible to apply. The application is open now through Friday, July 31 at 5 p.m. 

APPLY NOW

The program consists of a series of three-hour classes scheduled throughout the school year, along with a graduation celebration at the end of the program. The program includes a mix of daytime and evening meetings to provide flexibility to participants with varying work schedules.

• Sessions will primarily be held on weekday evenings at the Sherman ISD Service Center, 2701 N Loy Lake Road.
• A few classes will be held on weekday mornings in order to allow participants to observe student learning and opportunities offered during the school day. 

An exact schedule of class meeting dates and times will be available later this summer. For more information and to apply, please visit www.shermanisd.net/ambassador-academy.
