After more than three decades in education, including 24 years at the helm of Woodley Hills Elementary, Sharon Aldredge retires having left an indelible mark on the school community she served so faithfully. A servant leader at heart, Sharon led with compassion, humility, and an unwavering belief in the potential of every child. She was steadfast in her commitment to character education, nurturing a culture where students were not only expected to excel academically, but also to grow as kind, respectful, and responsible citizens.
Sharon’s leadership was transformational, rooted in strong relationships and a deep sense of purpose. She saw her staff as whole people first; she recognized that care, empathy, and high expectations were not mutually exclusive. Her gift was in creating space for others to shine. Whether it was launching new programs, mentoring aspiring leaders, or advocating fiercely for families, she consistently placed people, students, staff, and parents at the center of her work.
Sharon’s legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched, the opportunities she created, and the community she shaped. Woodley Hills is stronger, more compassionate, and more inclusive because of her; she will be deeply missed, but her influence will continue to echo through its hallways for years to come.

We cannot thank each of you enough for another wonderful year of learning! It is because of the hard work of our custodians, cafeteria workers, office staff, parents, teachers, volunteers, and community members that we have had another successful year. The children have benefited greatly from our collective efforts. They have shown excellent character during difficult situations and have grown academically because of the support and guidance of the adults in their lives. We are extremely grateful to partner with such caring families. To our sixth graders and those family members who are moving to other schools, we will miss you. Remember that we will be here if needed because you will always be part of the Woodley Hills family! For our returning family members, we hope you take some time to relax and enjoy your family and friends. Be safe and we will see everyone in August!
