  2. HOW WE BEGAN Coach Henry Sory and other local leaders had a vision several years ago to preserve the history of Sherman High and Fred Douglass High Schools.

  3. SO HENRY BEGAN CALLING VOLUNTEERS And created a non profit entity which became known as the Sherman Ex Students Association. A governing board of directors was established… And meetings began… with Mr. Sory elected as our first president.

  4. THE VISION BECAME A PURPOSE • The Sherman Ex-Students Association is open to graduates and former students of Sherman High School or Fred Douglass. The Association is organized to: •   provide opportunities for further, high education for graduates of Sherman High School in the form of scholarships; •   preserve the cultural and literary histories of both Sherman High and Fred Douglass Schools  through a collection of artifacts; •   recognize, unite, inform and involve all in the support of education and fellowship.

  5. THE QUEST FOR SPACE • A dream for space to collect and display artifacts became a reality when the Sherman ISD offered space in the basement of the Administrative Office Building…(the old SHS) • And a team of hard working volunteers came forth to begin a new and exciting journey.

  6. HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES LAST A LIFETIME • The museum moved when the SISD left the old high school building one last time in December 2010. • Today visitors can take a stroll down memory lane by visiting the new location of the Sherman Ex-Student's Association Museum. • The museum is located in the old Dillingham Jr High School Building located next to the new SISD Administration Offices on Loy Lake Road.

  7. GRAND RE-OPENING WILL BE IN MAY 2011 • This stroll will amaze you with the memories it brings back! The museum displays Athenians from just about every graduation class, all kinds of pictures, awards, plaques, Hi Talks, letter sweaters and jackets, and many, many more . • Just take a look at some of the following pictures. The museum is not quite ready to open, but this will give you an idea of what will be in store when you visit!
