Personal Information
As Rockway’s Director of Admissions & Recruitment, Sheri has the privilege to walk alongside families as they discover the value of a Rockway education. Before moving into her role in administration, Sheri taught French, Social Sciences and Business. In addition to her French language expertise, Sheri is also fluent in Japanese and has enjoyed teaching it both in high school and university contexts. She has lived and worked in four countries on three continents (Japan, France, United States, and Canada) and worked as a professional interpreter and translator before discovering her true vocational passion: teaching language, culture and the social sciences to high school students. Her travels have allowed her to teach not only at Rockway, but also in a Catholic girls high school, a struggling inner-city high school serving a largely hispanic immigrant population in suburban Chicago, and one of the Mid-West’s most elite private high schools. Rockway is her favourite! Sheri is a member of Rockway Mennonite Church.
