CPCSC STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Sherry Pryor
4th Grade Teacher at RCES
Sherry Pryor has been teaching elementary school since 2010 and since 2013 at Clark-Pleasant Schools. She has been a teacher at Ray Crowe Elementary since it opened in 2021. The married mother of two daughters has a Bachelors in Psychology from IUPUI and has worked toward a Master’s in Education. One daughter is a senior at WCHS and the other attends Huntington University where she’s studying Education.
Mrs. Pryor is an English Language Arts, Reading and Writing teacher. She is also Co-Captain of the RCES Robotics Team and she works with “Girls Who Code''! “What I enjoy the most about being a teacher is that distinctive moment when a kid discovers that books can take them anywhere”, says Pryor. She says she loves the challenges that come with teaching, especially the technology focus and the fact that there are daily assessments built into the curriculum all of which are data driven.
Mrs. Pryor is a strong champion of diversity and inclusion and works daily to make all students feel included. She works a lot with the district's DEI Coordinator to help build strong cultural relationships so that there is a comfortable learning environment. She says she had a defining moment in her career when she had a student with cancer. She says since that time she has always tried to develop a sense of family in her classrooms.
The payback for being a teacher, says Pryor, is when she’s at a high school game or activity and one of her former students comes up and thanks her for sharing the love of reading with them.
Pryor has a constant goal of having at least three books going to satisfy her appetite for reading. As passionate as she is about reading, she’s just as passionate about teaching. In fact, she didn’t go back to school to become a teacher until after she’d had her children. She knew it was her “career calling”. Mrs. Pryor commends her principal for treating all staff with respect and playing to the strengths of each individual. Another fun fact about Mrs. Pryor is that she and her husband and daughters raise bees in their apiary and sell local honey.
Congratulations to Mrs. Sherry Pryor for being our CPCS Staff Spotlight!
