Welcome METCO Program Manager

Please join us in welcoming Ms. Sheriila Lestrade as the new METCO Program Manager effective July 29, 2024.  Sherilla is a dedicated mother to daughter Jasmine, son Jeremiah, and a proud grandmother to a beautiful granddaughter Madison.

Sherilla's passion for working with children stems from her personal experiences as a former METCO student, parent of one METCO graduate, a current METCO high school senior, and an educator in a METCO district for over five years. She is excited to bring her expertise and enthusiasm to Scituate Public Schools, with a focus on helping children and families navigate a successful transition throughout their school career and building authentic life long relationships.  She is committed to building bridges between communities, educating students, families, and the school community about different cultures, and fostering a sense of inclusivity and understanding. Her dedication to social justice and passion for education will make her a valuable asset to our school community.

In her free time, Sherilla enjoys spending time with her family and friends, cooking, gardening, and volunteering in the community.

We are excited to welcome Ms. Lestrade to Scituate Public Schools as the new METCO Program Manager!

William Burkhead, Superintendent of Schools, Scituate Public Schools
