The SEF Arts Fest Run is an excellent way to promote fitness and raise funds for SEF to provide to the Sherman ISD and we are excited about this year’s 14th anniversary of our event!

Since our inception in 1999, the Sherman Education Foundation (SEF) has been dedicated to providing students and teachers within the Sherman Independent School District with tools and opportunities to elevate the educational experience.

At this time, more than $2.1 million has been raised by SEF for the benefit of SISD students and teachers. By placing equal emphasis on both innovative experiences and enrichment programs, the Sherman Education Foundation not only ensures that SISD has all the traditional resources available at all times, but also gives students exciting and unique programs for enrichment.
