As we kick off another fall season, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank our Sheldon High School fall coaching staff for the time, energy, and dedication they give to our students.
Coaching is about so much more than what happens on the field, court, or course. Our coaches help students grow as athletes, teammates, leaders, and individuals. Through practices, competitions, challenges, and successes, they encourage our students to work hard, learn, persevere, and strive to be their best.
Thank you to all of our coaches for the countless hours you invest in our students and for being such an important part of the Orab experience. We appreciate everything you do! Let's go Orabs!
What a great first day! We hope all of our students, teachers, and staff had an excellent day filled with smiles, new beginnings, and plenty of Orab pride!

What a great turnout at the Sheldon High School Renovation Ribbon Cutting & Open House! We are so grateful to everyone from our community who came out to tour the newly renovated school and see the exciting improvements firsthand.
A project of this size takes an incredible team effort, and we want to extend our sincere appreciation to CMBA Architects for their expertise and partnership, and to Klinger Companies, Inc. for their hard work and dedication throughout the construction process.
We also want to recognize Mr. Miller, High School Principal; Eric Maassen, Activities Director; Ryan Cannoy, Director of Buildings & Grounds; and Kasey Trampel, Technology Coordinator for the countless hours, attention to detail, problem-solving, and dedication they put into this project.
A special thank you goes to our teachers and staff for their hard work, flexibility, and patience throughout the renovation. Working through construction and changes to our building spaces was no small task, and we truly appreciate the way you continued to put our students first every step of the way.
We would also like to recognize our Sheldon Community School District Board of Education. Their leadership and vision were instrumental in initiating this project and helping make this investment in our schools and students a reality.
Lastly, thank you to our Sheldon community for your continued support and for joining us to celebrate this exciting milestone! We are incredibly proud of our renovated high school and look forward to all the memories that will be made here
