Now, in 2021, we’re facing unprecedented challenges with a long-running pandemic creating a divisive political climate. Since I took office as Superintendent of Public Instruction seven years ago, I have made it my top priority to encourage, support and help our schools and teachers to improve education outcomes rather than blaming and shaming them. In 2014, I decided it was time to try to change the culture in Idaho schools statewide, striving to make sure every student gets what they need to succeed in school, career and life. During that time, I earned a master’s in educational leadership at the University of Idaho, and then my educational specialist degree with an emphasis in the superintendency. Our son attended public schools in Mountain Home, and he is now a junior at the University of Idaho.Īfter 11 years as a third-grade teacher, I became a vice principal, principal and federal programs director for the Mountain Home School District.
I still live in Mountain Home with my husband, an Air Force veteran and federal police officer. I got my own third grade classroom soon after, launching a nearly two-decade career in Idaho education and forming an abiding love for Idaho and its educators. My favorite teacher was Miss Nadolski in third grade, and when I did student teaching in college, I was back in Miss Nadolski’s third grade classroom. I wanted to be a teacher since second grade. Hi, I’m Sherri Ybarra, Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction. Working together to make sure all Idaho students succeed in education and in life
