Sherri Land '10 graduated with a bachelor of science in elementary education. Since graduating, Sherri has been teaching 4h grade science and social studies. The last 13 years, she has been in Brownwood ISD.
Sherri was recently named Region 15 Teacher of the Year. When asked what this award meant to her, she said, "this award is meaningful because it reminded me that the work we do everyday matters. Recognition like this is a wonderful reminder of the impact educators can have on their students and their communities."
Sherri believes HPU prepared her for much more than just becoming a teacher. It taught her the importance of relationships, service, hard work, and making a difference in the lives of others. She believes the professors at HPU genuinely cared about their students and pushed them to become the best educators they could be.
