Where Are They Now Wednesday: Highlighting Elizabeth Sheldon Morris - Class of 2003
FHUHS Class of 2003 alumna Elizabeth Sheldon Morris loves her hometown. Elizabeth was raised and educated in the community of Fair Haven. Such fond memories led her to settle here with her young family. She wanted her children to experience the same wonderful upbringing and education. When asked if there were any teachers in particular that she would like to give credit to, she replied, “I had many wonderful teachers at Fair Haven, but Mr. Pierce and Mrs. Laplaca really stand out. They were skilled music teachers but beyond that, they helped me gain confidence and a strong sense of self.”
While at Fair Haven Union High School, Elizabeth was actively involved in music. She played the piano and flute, along with singing in the choir and keynotes. Elizabeth was also on the soccer team and part of the Nature Club. She graduated class Valedictorian.
Elizabeth attended Bowdoin College, where she earned her bachelor's degree in Neuroscience. After graduating, she worked two years as a medical assistant before her acceptance to the Albany Medical College Physician Assistant Program. In 2011 Elizabeth received her Master’s degree in PA Studies. Currently Elizabeth is working at Community Health in Brandon. She has been there the past nine of her twelve years practicing as a physician assistant specializing in family medicine.
Elizabeth loves hiking, yoga, sewing and reading, with her favorite pastime being spent with family. She is the mother of two young children named Jack and Pippa. Her son Jack has Down Syndrome. Elizabeth and her husband work together to bring awareness to the forefront about Down Syndrome while also addressing the unique challenges Jack will face as he carves out his own path in this world.
When asked if Elizabeth had any words of encouragement for our current Slater students, she said, “I think sometimes our small school is underrated but it truly is a special place. We have such a tight-knit community and talented teachers. As a student at Fair Haven, you get to learn and grow in a very safe and supportive space. We have so many alumni doing amazing things. Make the most of your time at Fair Haven and know that you are capable of greatness.”

Thank you to the wonderful educators at Champlain Orchard for sharing your knowledge with us! Our students enjoyed learning about the different types of apples, the life cycle of the Apple, how to plant and care for the trees, nutritional facts and how to store and process apples. It was a bonus to here how you operate your orchard by solar power as well! Thank you for a great day of learning for our students. ☀️🍎
