Sherwood High School is a public high school in Sandy Spring in unincorporated Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. It is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools system. Sherwood's program of interest is the international studies program, and it is also known for its music and athletic programs.

History

Sherwood Academy was built on a piece of land donated in 1883, that was once part of Sherwood Farm – named because the abundance of trees was reminiscent of Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest.[3] In 1906, Sherwood became the third public high school in Montgomery County, after Richard Montgomery High School and Gaithersburg High School. The original school building was replaced in 1950, and the 1,000-seat Ertzman theatre was added in 1974. The school was renovated from 1989 until 1991, during which students were temporarily moved to the Northwood High School building in Silver Spring. During the summer of 2007, a new wing was added to the school, creating new classrooms for science and English.

Student body

Sherwood High School had 1,721 students enrolled for the 2022–23 school year. The school's student body was 48% non-Hispanic Caucasian, 16% African American, 11% Asian, and 19% Hispanic.[4] The graduation rate for the school was 89.8%, with 76.5% meeting the University of Maryland entrance requirements.[4] Sherwood students had an average SAT score of 554 (math), 573 (verbal), and 1127 (total), the same as the county average.[4] Approximately 52.1% of graduates received a passing grade on an Advanced Placement exam.[4]

Academics

The International Studies Program distinguishes the school by providing a uniquely-focused program. The program was established in 1998, coinciding with broader restructuring that occurred with the opening of the nearby James Hubert Blake High School. Blake High School, along with Paint Branch High School and Springbrook High School, formed the Northeast Consortium of schools. Sherwood was originally intended to be part of the consortium, but was ultimately not included.[5] The consortium provides each with a uniquely specialized program which students can opt for instead of attending their local school. While Sherwood is not a member of the consortium, it established the International Studies Program. Sherwood is a member of the International Studies Schools Association, a national network of schools dedicated to improving students' understanding of the world.[6]

In 2006, Sherwood High School was listed in Newsweek's top 1200 American High Schools, as the 388th highest-rated school in the country, up 61 places from its 2005 ranking of 449.[7]

A new system of academies was implemented beginning with the class of 2013. Students choose from four academies: Business and Hospitality; Engineering and Technology; Science; and Arts and Humanities. The academies allow students to specialize in their area of interest.

Areas Served

Sherwood serves the areas of Olney, Ashton, Sandy Spring, and Brookeville. It draws students from two middle schools and five elementary schools:[8]

  • William H. Farquhar MS
    • Brooke Grove ES
    • Sherwood ES*
  • Rosa Parks MS
    • Belmont ES
    • Greenwood ES
    • Olney ES

*a portion of Sherwood ES also articulates to the Northeast Consortium, where their base high school is James Hubert Blake High School.

Music

Sherwood High School has regionally-known music programs, including the annual Rock 'n Roll Revival show which was established in 1971.[9] The original concept for the show was conceived by a group of Sherwood students who were inspired after seeing a concert at Madison Square Garden in October 1971. Faculty members also appeared in the first show in 1972.[10] The show includes the performance of a mix of songs from the late 1950s to the late 1990s. Each March, Rock 'n' Roll Revival has performances over two weekends[11] at Ertzman Theatre, with a seventh performance for students in area middle and elementary schools.

Sherwood High School also has an Instrumental Music Department and offers jazz band, jazz lab, concert band, and symphonic orchestra. Also offered are choruses including jazz choir, show choir, and a women's chorus.

Crocifissione di Gesù

La neutralità di questa voce o sezione sull'argomento cristianesimo è stata messa in dubbio. Motivo: Le fonti citate sono in larghissima maggioranza attinte all'area dell'esegesi storico-critica, incline a negare la storicità di tutti i fatti narrati dalla Bibbia che non abbiano riscontro in altre fonti e a considerare qualsiasi difformità dei Vangeli come un'invincibile contraddizione. Ad esempio per mirra/fiele non è citata la spiegazione più semplice che Gesù abbia potuto bere...
