Hello, I'm Denise Sherman and my two sons and I moved to Haines in 2008 after a two week vacation we took here in 2007. Before the move to Haines, we lived in Salinas, California which is considered central California. I attended college at Cal Poly University, in San Luis Obispo, California were I studied Agricultural Business Management. Realizing this wasn’t my calling, I gravitated towards the medical and dental fields where I worked in a variety of capacities. I really enjoy helping people and in the medical and dental fields there were endless ways to help.

Working here at Haines High School also allows me to help in a variety of ways, which fulfills me each and every day. I wear several hats here at the high school. I manage the Independent Learning Center (ILC) which is the high school’s online classes. We offer online classes to our high school students because we are a small school with limited staff so this allows our students the opportunity to take classes they need or want for graduation. I am also a Para Educator which means I work with the teacher and support student(s) who need support within the classroom so they can be just as successful as everyone else. It takes a village to raise a child and I am blessed to have a very small part in the process, so thank you!
