Greetings Grizzlies!

My name is Danielle Sherfey and I am beginning my 14th year in education. I came to Forsyth County Schools from Fulton County in 2014. I have served as an 8th grade ELA teacher, Graduation Coach, Instructional Coach, and Assistant Administrator during my time at Lakeside and South Forsyth Middle School. I am excited to be part of the Grizzly family as Assistant Principal over 6th grade for the 2023-2024 school year. In this role, I will be supporting our students and staff in engaging in authentic learning experiences as well as celebrating growth and achievements.

My educational background includes a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Columbus State University and a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education with a major in English Language Arts and a minor in Science from Eastern Michigan University.

Outside of school, my husband, Chris, and I spend our time supporting and cheering on our children Brayden (13) and Aria (10) in their activities. As a family, we enjoy watching sports, traveling, and spending quality time together with our dog, Diggie.

I am looking forward to serving our Piney Grove Community and continuing to learn and grow together!
