Maurice-Diya shortly after retiring from public service as a Vice-Principal within the Lagos State Public Schools system. Through over 10 years of existence, Sherwood has become the template for developing complete intellectuals by nurturing them in their youth by inspiring academic, athletic and spiritual discipline.
