Want To Know More About Sherman, Texas?

 

Nestled in the heart of North Texas, where the rolling prairies meet the edge of Lake Texoma’s shimmering waters, Sherman pulses with that irresistible Texan spirit—part frontier grit, part modern hustle, and all-around welcoming vibe that makes you want to kick off your boots and stay awhile. As the county seat of Grayson County, this gem of a city boasts around 43,000 friendly folks who call it home, all thriving just 60 miles north of Dallas for that perfect blend of small-town charm and big-city access. Dive into its roots, and you’ll uncover a tale straight out of a Western epic: founded in 1846 and named for General Sidney Sherman, the Texas Revolution hero who helped etch “Remember the Alamo!” into history books, the town sprouted as a vital stop on the Butterfield Overland Mail route by 1850. It boomed in the 1880s as the “Athens of Texas,” thanks to a flurry of colleges like Austin College (still rocking strong today) and women’s academies that turned it into an education powerhouse amid railroads chugging in and cotton fields flourishing. Fast-forward through Civil War echoes and postwar surges, and Sherman emerged as a tech-savvy force—luring giants like Texas Instruments and IBM since the ’50s, and now exploding with a $30 billion semiconductor fab that’s set to crank by late 2025, cementing its spot as the “Technology Hub of North Texas.” But don’t let the industry fool you; this is a playground too, with Lake Texoma luring bass pros and boaters, the historic Sherman Museum spilling secrets from stained-glass wonders to Civil War relics, and a downtown alive with artsy vibes, farm-to-table eats, and trails that beg for lazy hikes. Whether you’re chasing history’s whispers or tomorrow’s innovations, Sherman’s got that magnetic pull—grab a brisket taco and join the ride!

Initial reporting indicated the #ShermanTX school district was simply adhering to policy but the outlet was waiting on an official statement from the district (5p broadcast).

The story seems to have been updated to indicate that there is no policy regarding gender and casting in theater productions.

Then they went on to postpone the entire production of "Oklahoma!" because of "sexual content and profanity."
