To Whom This May Concern: I initially met Sue Sherman when our family arrived 10 years ago at Buckley and was immediately warmed by her friendliness.

When you visit Sue’s office you're immediately struck by her wall of pictures of students with wide smiles at tennis tournaments and other school events with her. The Tennis Championships and personal awards won by Sue as well as her Girls and Boys Varsity Tennis Teams adds additional luster to Sue’s tenure, however it is how she positively impacts her students that is most discussed by parents.

I had the pleasure of working under Susan in 2008 as an assistant tennis coach and also as a substitute teacher. She is a natural born leader who is effective, focused and professional. She is always helpful and gives great direction. Her high level of experience is always apparent. She works well with her colleagues and is loved by her students. Susan would be an asset to any company, corporation or institution that may elect to bring her onboard.
