Message from Our Principal
Our world is becoming increasingly competitive.
It is our objective at Sharon School to provide
students with the skills, knowledge, and training
that will best prepare them for the many
challenges that lie ahead. We will accomplish
this objective through a strong focus on
the fundamentals of reading, writing, and
mathematics. We will augment these critically
important arts. Throughout all instruction we
will recognize and enhance the unique intellectual
strengths of each student. Catherine Phelan,
Principal of Sharon
