The Superintendent
Elizabeth McCoy
Sherborn runs its own elementary school, Pine Hill, for about 393 students from preschool through grade 5, and one person answers for the whole operation. Elizabeth McCoy is the Superintendent of Schools, shared across a single administration that serves Sherborn, Dover, and the Dover-Sherborn Regional district the two towns run together for grades 6 through 12. She proposes the school budget, sets academic priorities, and runs the schools day to day. The Superintendent is hired by and reports to the elected School Committee, which carries out an annual evaluation.

The School Committee
The Sherborn School Committee has five members, elected town-wide to staggered three-year terms, plus a representative for the METCO program. It governs Sherborn’s own elementary district: it sets policy, approves the school budget, and hires and evaluates the Superintendent. Its meetings are public, which means a Sherborn student who shows up can speak. A separate regional committee, shared with Dover, oversees the middle and high school.
