Executive Director - Sheryl Hamilton
Sheryl Hamilton is the new Executive Director of Racine County Opportunity Center. She is committed to the mission of RCOC and to increase RCOC's visibility in the community. RCOC is an excellent facility with three dynamic programs to offer the Racine County area.
Sheryl has been with RCOC since 2000 as the Supervisor and speech/feeding therapist of the Birth-to-Three program, and recently as the administrator of Hands of Oppurtunity. Since graduation from UW-Whitewater graduate school, Sheryl has focused her skills with the pediatric population. Her passion has been with more medically-fragile infants/toddlers. When she became the administrator of Hands of Oppurtunity, her focus, along with the Director, was to create an environment for both "typically" developing children and children with special needs.
