Shaw High School

Shaw High School's Adopt-a-Seat Campaign
Dear Alumni,
Shaw High School is pleased to announce that the renovations to its auditorium have been completed, including our new auditorium seats. Our new auditorium, the Kathy Tracy Auditorium, was dedicated during Honor's Night at 6:30 PM on April 24, 2007, and we wish to all those who "adopted" a seat and the MCSD a warm thank you. It is due to their donations and their support that our Adopt-a-Seat Campaign was made possible. Compare the old with the new and improved!

Links to Shaw Alumni Websites:
If your graduating class has a webpage, please email the webmaster at rjacobson@mcsdga.net with your URL. We would like to have a link to it. Also, if your class's website is no longer functioning, please let me know.

Have you tried Facebook.com to find info on your fellow alumni? There is an alumni page on Facebook; click here.

Here's a website you should check out: http://whshaw.alumniclass.com. This is a website where Shaw graduates can stay in touch and plan reunions easier. This gives one central and private location to stay in touch without being spread out over many national alumni sites. This link will be adding a searchable database with contact and reunion information to the school's current alumni page. The site will be managed for all classes to use. There are no banners, ads or pop ups on the site, plus a disclaimer that "this site is run by alumni and has no association with the school or district."

To access another alumni website that Jack and Susan Huguley Storey (Shaw's class of '81) say is a "popular one gaining steam and is free of charge," check out http://shaw.alumz.com. The class of 1981 is using this site as a primary source of communication; however, it is open for all alumni and is broken down by year of graduation. There are literally thousands of schools listed at alumz but in just half a year, Shaw has risen to the sixth "hottest" site of all the alumz sites.

Shaw Class of 1980 had a 30th reunion at the River Mill Event Center on 7-9 October, 2010

Alumni, the class of 1980 has a Facebook page to assist in connecting with classmates.

Class of 1995
In addition to having information of interest to the Class of '95, this website has copies of the Silver Streak, photographs of the original construction of W. H. Shaw High School, information on our adoption by TSYS, and a copy of the cover of SHS's first football program. For the Alumni Page {click here}.

New Sights at Shaw
In case you have not been the in the Shaw neighborhood lately, Shaw can no longer be seen "from" Schomburg Road and the shopping center across the street! A Eagle Ridge Elementary School has been built on the piece of land located between Schomburg Road and Shaw's parking lot.
