Assistant Principal

Mrs. Andrea Cooper

I am honored to join the Tiger community to serve as the Sherrard High School Assistant Principal for the 2025-2026 school year! I am a native of Fulton, Illinois and currently reside in rural Orion, IL with my husband (Brandon) and son (Bryant). Throughout my personal and professional educational careers I have been privileged to have experiences that range from elementary through high school levels and that span from the midwest all the way to Europe. Throughout these experiences, I have explored and discovered where my heart and passions lie, which is ultimately in small rural communities and working with the students and families within them. I am extremely excited to join the administrative team at Sherrard High School and I look forward to what the future holds!

I am a firm believer that some of the greatest indicators of student, school, and district successes lie within the school climate and culture and the positive relationships created within the school buildings as well as the district and community as a whole. My personal core values in education center around this belief and I will strive in all I do to build relationships, encourage positive climate / culture, stay student focused, and encourage high expectations and achievement for all.

I genuinely hope that all students, families, and community members always feel safe and welcome in our district and school building (physically, emotionally, and academically). Please never hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do to assist you (your student) as you navigate your experiences and journey at Sherrard High School!
