On behalf of the Shaw High School Administration, welcome to the Raider website.

We believe that Shaw is the finest comprehensive high school in this area and offers educational opportunities unsurpassed by any other school.  Our graduates are well prepared to face the challenges of higher education or entrance into the work force.  Over 65% of our graduates qualify for HOPE scholarships, and our Senior Class graduates over 97% of its members.

Students come to Shaw with preconceived notions of what they can or cannot do, both behaviorally and academically, and our outstanding faculty makes every effort to advise, teach, and lead them beyond their perception of their own abilities.

Our primary function as Administrators is to provide students the opportunity to learn and teachers the opportunity to teach in a safe, orderly, and positive environment.

Michael Forte, Assistant Principal for Student Services
Barrie Clarke, Assistant Principal for Administrative Services
Judy Flint, CTAE Director
