Sherman High School will celebrate Homecoming this coming week, as the Bearcats take on the McKinney North Bulldogs on Friday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. at Bearcat Stadium.
The fun begins earlier in the week with the annual Homecoming Parade in downtown Sherman on Wednesday, Sept. 17 starting at 6 p.m.
The whole community is invited to line the streets as parade participants travel along W. Mulberry St., N. Travis St., W. Houston St., N. Crockett St. and W. Pecan St. before ending back at Lucy Kidd-Key Park outside the Sherman Municipal Building and Bearcat Stadium.
Following the parade, everyone is invited to stick around for food, music and activities for the whole family! First United Bank will be grilling up burgers donated by Tyson Foods and providing buns, chips, water and other supplies.
On Thursday, September 18 at 6 p.m., the community is invited to attend the Homecoming Revue in the Sherman High School auditorium, 2907 W. Travis Street. Meet the Homecoming King and Queen nominees and find who made the short list for Homecoming royalty!
Single-game tickets for Friday’s football game can be purchased online starting at 8 a.m. Monday morning at www.shermanisd.net/athletics/tickets. They will also be sold at the gate Friday night. Be sure to come early to see who’s crowned Homecoming King and Queen to celebrate the student finalists!

Run for a Good Cause Ahead of Sherman Arts Fest
Join the Sherman Education Foundation for a morning filled with energy, community and purpose at the 20th Annual SEF Arts Fest 5K & Bubble-K Fun Run on Saturday, September 20, at Piner Middle School. The event begins with the 5K at 8 a.m. and includes timed and non-timed 5Ks, a 1K Fun Run and even a virtual “I’m Sleepin’ In, but I Want a T-Shirt!” option.
Participants can even join the Bubble Foam party, making it a fun morning for kids, families and anyone who enjoys a little excitement with their exercise.
The event supports the Sherman Education Foundation, which has helped Sherman ISD teachers and students since 1999. SEF has raised over $3 million for grants, programs and special projects, giving students extra learning opportunities. Prizes are awarded to top runners and age groups, and early registrants get a T-shirt and swag bag!
“For 20 years, this event has brought our community together, making an impact on both educators and students,” said Kathy Bickerstaff, director of Sherman Education Foundation. ”It’s a celebration of our community’s dedication to learning, growth and opportunity for every child.”
Early registration continues through September 18 at www.shermanisd.net/sef, but you can still join the fun on race day with registration at an increased fee.
Early packet pickup is Friday, September 19, from noon to 5:30 p.m. at the Sherman ISD Service Center at 2701 N Loy Lake Rd.
